Luke 3:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ And John continued to preach the ·Good News [Gospel], saying many other things to ·encourage [exhort] the people.

¹⁹ But John ·spoke against [criticized; rebuked] Herod [^CAntipas], the ·governor [^Ltetrarch; 3:1], ·because of his sin with [^Lconcerning] Herodias, the wife of Herod’s brother [^CHerod had divorced his wife and illicitly married the wife of his brother Philip; Lev. 18:16], and because of the many other evil things Herod did. ²⁰ So Herod ·did something even worse [^Ladded this to all his sins]: He ·put [locked; shut up] John in prison.
