Mark 6:18-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

18. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

19. Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

20. For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and holy, and protected him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
