Here the author begins to tell about how Herod had executed John the Baptist. These events occur some time before the event in the previous verses. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-events]])

|
# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Matthew recounts the story of John the Baptist's death in order to show why Herod reacted the way he did when he heard about Jesus.
|
|
|
|
# For Herod ... as your wife
|
|
|
|
If needed, you can present the events of 14:3-4 in the order that they happened, as in the UDB. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-events]])
|
|
|
|
# Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison
|
|
|
|
It says that Herod did these things because he ordered others to do them for him. AT: "Herod ordered his soldiers to arrest and bind John the Baptist and put him in prison" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# Philip's wife
|
|
|
|
Philip was Herod's brother. Herod had taken Philip's wife to be his own wife. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])
|
|
|
|
# For John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her as your wife."
|
|
|
|
This can be expressed as an indirect quote, if needed. AT: "For John had said to Herod that it was not lawful for Herod to have Herodias as his wife." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])
|
|
|
|
# For John had said to him
|
|
|
|
"For John had kept saying to Herod"
|
|
|
|
# It is not lawful
|
|
|
|
Philip was still alive when Herod married Herodias. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# he feared
|
|
|
|
"Herod feared"
|
|
|
|
# they regarded him
|
|
|
|
"they regarded John"
