- But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!"
- For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.
- For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
- So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to,
- because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.

- But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen!"
- For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.
- For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
- Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;
- for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him.
