Markus 6,19

Herodias
AngerConflict and reconciliation

17 Herodes hadde selv beordret Johannes' arrest og hadde ham bundet og fengslet på grunn av Herodias, hans bror Filips kone, som han hadde giftet seg med.

18 For Johannes hadde sagt til Herodes: "Det er mot loven for deg å ha din brors kone."

Herodias bar nag til ham og ønsket å drepe ham, men hun kunne ikke,

20 fordi Herodes fryktet Johannes og beskyttet ham, da han visste at han var en rettferdig og hellig mann. Når Herodes lyttet til ham, ble han sterkt forvirret, men han likte å høre ham.

21 En beleilig dag kom da Herodes, på sin bursdag, holdt en bankett for sine adelsmenn, militære ledere og de ledende mennene i Galilea.
