17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold on John, and bound him in prison for Herodias'sake, his brother Philip' wife: for he had married her.

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

17 Perciocchè esso Erode avea mandato a prender Giovanni, e l’avea messo nei legami in prigione, a motivo di Erodiada, moglie di Filippo, suo fratello; perciocchè egli l’avea sposata,

18 e Giovanni avea detto ad Erode: Ei non ti è lecito di aver la moglie del tuo fratello.
