Mark 6:17-20

CAB(i) 17 For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her. 18 For John would say to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." 19 Therefore Herodias held a grudge against him and was desiring to kill him, but she was not able; 20 for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he was protecting him. And when he heard him, he did many things, but he would hear him gladly.
