1 EN aquel tiempo Herodes el tetrarca oyó la fama de Jesús,
2 Y dijo á sus criados: Este es Juan el Bautista: él ha resucitado de los muertos, y por eso virtudes obran en él.
3 Porque Herodes había prendido á Juan, y le había aprisionado y puesto en la cárcel, por causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano;
4 Porque Juan le decía: No te es lícito tenerla.
5 Y quería matarle, mas temía al pueblo; porque le tenían como á profeta.
