Mark 6:17

Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,

For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

When he found out that he was in Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days.

“ ‘If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her, and take her as his wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her.

Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”

Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

For John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cup bearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

At that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the report concerning Jesus,

saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’

“Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’

Now in those days, a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled.

This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria.

but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him; and he was very perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

for John was not yet thrown into prison.

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed,

Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.”

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. To him will the obedience of the peoples be.

“ ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife. It is your brother’s nakedness.

Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’ ”

and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” The thing pleased the king, and he did so.

Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king’s bounty.

On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.

So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.

But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced among them and pleased Herod.

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn’t recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them.”

Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,

Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

Pilate decreed that what they asked for should be done.

After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.

in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
