Matthew 14:3 in Context — Matthew 14
1 En ce temps-là, Hérode le tétrarque, ayant entendu parler de Jésus, dit à ses serviteurs: C’est Jean-Baptiste!
2 Il est ressuscité des morts, et c’est pour cela qu’il se fait par lui des miracles.
3 Car Hérode, qui avait fait arrêter Jean, l’avait lié et mis en prison, à cause d’Hérodias, femme de Philippe, son frère,
4 parce que Jean lui disait: Il ne t’est pas permis de l’avoir pour femme.
5 Il voulait le faire mourir, mais il craignait la foule, parce qu’elle regardait Jean comme un prophète.
