Therefore Herodias G2266 had a quarrel G1758 against him, and would G2309 have killed G615 him; but she could G1410 not:

For Herod G2264 feared G5399 John, G2491 knowing G1492 that he was a just G1342 man G435 and an holy, G40 and observed G4933 him; and when he heard G191 him, he did G4160 many G4183 things, and heard G191 him gladly. G2234

After G3326 two G1417 days G2250 was the feast of the passover, G3957 and of unleavened G106 bread: and the chief G749 priests G749 and the scribes G1122 sought G2212 how G4459 they might take G2902 him by craft, G1388 and put G615 him to death. G615

But they said, G3004 Not on G1722 the feast G1859 day, lest G3379 there be an uproar G2351 of the people. G2992

So G1161 when they had further threatened G4324 them, they let them go, G630 finding G2147 nothing G3367 how G4459 they might punish G2849 them, because G1223 of the people: G2992 for all G3956 men glorified G1392 God G2316 for that which was done. G1096

Then G5119 went G565 the captain G4755 with the officers, G5257 and brought G71 them without G3756 G3326 violence: G970 for they feared G5399 the people, G2992 lest G2443 G3361 they should have been stoned. G3034

But if G1437 we shall say, G2036 Of men; G444 we fear G5399 the people; G3793 for all G3956 hold G2192 John G2491 as a prophet. G4396

For John G2491 came G2064 to you in the way G3598 of righteousness, G1343 and you believed G4100 him not: but the publicans G5057 and the harlots G4204 believed G4100 him: and you, when you had seen G1492 it, repented G3338 not afterward, G5305 that you might believe G4100 him.

The baptism G908 of John, G2491 was it from heaven, G3772 or G2228 of men? G444 answer G611 me.

But if G1437 we shall say, G2036 Of men; G444 they feared G5399 the people: G2992 for all G537 men counted G2192 John, G2491 that he was a prophet G4396 indeed. G3689

But and if G1437 we say, G2036 Of men; G444 all G3956 the people G2992 will stone G2642 us: for they be persuaded G3982 that John G2491 was a prophet. G4396
