16 Y oyéndo[lo] Herodes, dijo: Este es Juan el que yo degollé: él ha resucitado de los muertos.

17 Porque el mismo Herodes había enviado, y prendido á Juan, y le había aprisionado en la cárcel á causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano; pues la había tomado por mujer.

18 Porque Juan decía á Herodes: No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano.

19 Mas Herodías le acechaba, y deseaba matarle, y no podía:
