Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

for Herod was afraid of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and he continued to hold him in prison: and hearing him, he continued to do many things, and he was hearing him gladly.

And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a charger and gave it to the maiden, and the maiden gave it to her mother.

And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.
