Matthew 14:5 in Context — Matthew 14
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.
6 Or, lorsqu’on célébra l’anniversaire de la naissance d’Hérode, la fille d’Hérodias dansa au milieu des convives, et plut à Hérode,
7 de sorte qu’il promit avec serment de lui donner ce qu’elle demanderait.
