translationNotes
- 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: en:ta:vol2: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: en:ta:vol2: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.
