For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

And the king Herod heard of Him, (for His name became famous), and he said, "John the Immerser has risen from the dead; and, because of this, the powers are working in Him."

But Herod, hearing of Him, said, "It is he whom I beheaded, John, the same was raised."

For Herod himself, sending forth, laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip, his brother, because he married her.

for Herod was fearing John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he was preserving him.

And, an opportune day having come, when Herod, on his birthday, made a supper for his nobles and for the chief captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

and the daughter of Herodias herself coming in and dancing, it pleased Herod and those reclining at table with him; and the king said to the damsel, "Ask of me whatsoever you wish, and I will give it to you."

And He was charging them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
