NETBible

For John had repeatedly told¹ Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”²

NET Notes

¹tn The imperfect tense verb is here rendered with an iterative force.

²sn It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife. This was a violation of OT law (Lev 18:16; 20:21). In addition, both Herod Antipas and Herodias had each left marriages to enter into this union.
