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, 4 for John had said to him, “It is not lawful (morally right) for you to have her [living with you as your wife].” 5 Although Herod wished to have him put to death, he feared the people, for they regarded John as a prophet.
