17 原来希律曾亲自派人去捉拿约翰， 把他捆锁在监里。他这样作， 是为了他弟弟的妻子希罗底的缘故， 因为他娶了希罗底为妻，

18 而约翰曾对希律说： "你占有你兄弟的妻子是不合理的。"

17 For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her. 18 For John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife."
