Mark 6:18-20

21st Century King James Version

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

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias had an inward grudge against him and would have killed him, but she could not;

²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and holy, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
