17 For Herod him selfe had sent forth, and had taken Iohn, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, which was his brother Philippes wife, because he had maried her. 18 For Iohn sayd vnto Herod, It is not lawfull for thee to haue thy brothers wife.

17 Pois o próprio Herodes mandara prender a João e acorrentá-lo no cárcere por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Filipe (Herodes se havia casado com ela);

18 porque João lhe dizia: Não te é lícito ter a mulher de teu irmão.
