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.

17 For Herodes hadde selv sendt folk avsted og grepet Johannes og lagt ham i bånd og kastet ham i fengsel for Herodias' skyld, som var hans bror Filips hustru; for han hadde giftet sig med henne.

18 Men Johannes hadde sagt til Herodes: Det er dig ikke tillatt å ha din brors hustru.
