“Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:”
“And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and she could not; ”
“Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn't,”
“So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could not”
“Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death and could not.”
“And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;”
“Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:”
When Herod had heard it, he said, “John whom I beheaded, the same has risen again from the dead.”
For Herod himself had sent to capture John, and had chained him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip; for he had married her.
For John was saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
Now Herodias was devising treachery against him; and she wanted to kill him, but she was unable.
For Herod was apprehensive of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and so he guarded him. And he heard that he was accomplishing many things, and so he listened to him willingly.
And when an opportune time had arrived, Herod held a feast on his birthday, with the leaders, and the tribunes, and the first rulers of Galilee.
And when the daughter of the same Herodias had entered, and danced, and pleased Herod, along with those who were at table with him, the king said to the girl, “Request from me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
