Matthew 14:3-5

New International Version

³ Now Herod had arrested John and bound him and put him in prison^(A) because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,^{(B) 4} for John had been saying to him: “It is not lawful for you to have her.”^{(C) 5} Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of the people, because they considered John a prophet.^(D)
