Matthew 14:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ Herod had arrested John, tied him up, and put him in prison. Herod did this for Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. ⁴ John had been telling Herod, “It’s not right for you to be married to her.” ⁵ So Herod wanted to kill John. However, he was afraid of the people because they thought John was a prophet.
