Mark 6:18-20 —John had kept saying to Herod, “It isn’t lawful for you to have your brother’s wife”.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ —John had kept saying to Herod, “It isn’t lawful for you to have your brother’s wife”. ¹⁹ So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she couldn’t, ²⁰ because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a just and holy man. And consulting him he would do many things; indeed, he would hear him with pleasure.
