Mark 6:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ For Herod himself had taken John and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, who was his brother Philip’s wife. Because he had married her.

¹⁸ For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias conspired against him and would have killed him, but she could not.
