Mark 6:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ And Herodias was angry (enraged) with him and held a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she could not,

²⁰ For Herod had [^[a]a reverential] fear of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and [continually] kept him safe [^[b]under guard]. When he heard [John speak], he was much perplexed; and [yet] he heard him gladly.

²¹ But an opportune time came [for Herodias] when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and the high military commanders and chief men of Galilee.
