Mark 6:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

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

¹⁹ Therefore Herodias conspired against him and would have killed him, but she could not.

²⁰ For Herod feared John (knowing that he was a just and holy man) and respected him. And when he heard him, he did so gladly.
