This continues the account of how Herod killed John the Baptist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Herod had laid hold upon John, bound him, and put him in prison ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most likely, Herod had ordered others to do these actions for him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

## Herod had laid hold upon John ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Herod had John arrested"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## For John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her as your wife" ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"For John had said to him that it was not lawful for him to have her as his wife." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])

## For John had said to him ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"For John had kept saying to Herod" (see UDB).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## It is not lawful ##
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UDB assumes Philip was still alive when Herod married Herodias, but the Law of Moses also forbade a man from marrying his brother's widow.
