AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 14:3 ¶ For Herod had John arrested and bound him and put him in prison [at the fortress of Machaerus, east of the Jordan, to keep him away] because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [Mark 6:17; Luke 3:19] |
Bible Question: Why did Herodias want John the Baptist beheaded? |
Bible Answer: Because John the Baptist had denounced Herod's adulterous union with Herodias, his brother Philip's wife and his own niece. Law prohibited marriage to one's brother's wife while the brother was still alive. ......................... Luke 3:19 But when Herod the tetrarch was reproved by him on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and on account of all the wicked things which Herod had done, 20 he added this also to them all, that he locked John up in prison.
