17 Hirodesin kendisi, kardeşi Filipusun karısı Hirodiyanın yüzünden adam gönderip Yahyayı tutuklatmış, zindana attırıp zincire vurdurmuştu. Çünkü Hirodes bu kadınla evlenince Yahya ona, ‹‹Kardeşinin karısıyla evlenmen Kutsal Yasaya aykırıdır›› demişti.

17 For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

18 For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.
