New English Translation
16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised!” 17 For Herod himself had sent men, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod[a] had married her. 18 For John had repeatedly told[b] Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”[c]
