Mark 6:18-20

Rotherham(i) 18 For John had been saying to Herod––It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother. 19 And, Herodias, was cherishing [a grudge] against him, and wishing, to slay him,––and could not; 20 for, Herod, stood in fear of John, knowing him to be a man righteous and holy,––and was keeping him safe; and, when he heard him, he paid earnest heed, and, with pleasure, used to listen to him.
