Bible Question: Was the relationship between Herod and Herodias 'unlawful' because she was a blood relative or or because she was his sister-in-law? |
Bible Answer: Unlawful marriage? Herod married Herodias, - Mark 6:17 "For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her" Herod also wouldn't repent of it and put her away. - Lk 3:19 "But when Herod the tetrarch was reprimanded by him because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and because of all the wicked things which Herod had done," Herod was living in an unlawful marriage. |
