Markos 6:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ But Yochanan was saying to Herod, It is not mutar according to the Torah for you to have your brother’s wife. [VAYIKRA 18:16, 20:21]

¹⁹ And Herodias bore a grudge against Yochanan and desired to kill him. But she could not.

²⁰ For Herod feared Yochanan, knowing him [to be] a tzaddik and kadosh, and Herod was protecting Yochanan. And when Herod heard Yochanan, he was greatly disturbed, and [yet] gladly Herod was listening to Yochanan.
