17 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.

18 For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

17 Er aber, Herodes, hatte ausgesandt und Johannes gegriffen und ins Gefängnis gelegt um der Herodias willen, seines Bruders Philippus Weib; denn er hatte sie gefreit.

18 Johannes aber sprach zu Herodes: Es ist nicht recht, daß du deines Bruders Weib habest.
