Mark 6:16-18

¹⁶ Herod heard what other people said, so he said, `I cut off John's head. He is alive again.'

¹⁷ Herod had sent his people to catch John. They tied him and put him in prison to please Herodias. Herod had married her, but she was his brother Philip's wife.

¹⁸ John had told Herod, `It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.'
