Mark 6:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ John had said to him, ‘Herodias is your brother's wife. It is not right for you to have her as your wife.’^[a]

¹⁹ So Herodias was angry with John. She wanted to kill him. But she could not do that, ²⁰ because Herod was afraid of John. Herod knew that John was a good man and a servant of God. So Herod kept John safe. Herod liked to listen to the things that John said. But he did not know what to think about those things.
