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."

17 Porquanto o mesmo Herodes mandara prender a João, e encerrá-lo amarrado no cárcere, por causa de Herodias, mulher de Filipe, seu irmão, porquanto tinha casado com ela.

18 Pois João dizia a Herodes: Não te é lícito possuir a mulher de teu irmão.
