Mark 6:17 in Context — Mark 6
15 D’autres disaient: C’est Élie. Et d’autres disaient: C’est un prophète comme l’un des prophètes.
16 Mais Hérode, en apprenant cela, disait: Ce Jean que j’ai fait décapiter, c’est lui qui est ressuscité.
17 Car Hérode lui-même avait fait arrêter Jean, et l’avait fait lier en prison, à cause d’Hérodias, femme de Philippe, son frère, parce qu’il l’avait épousée,
18 et que Jean lui disait: Il ne t’est pas permis d’avoir la femme de ton frère.
19 Hérodias était irritée contre Jean, et voulait le faire mourir.
