“Teacher, Moses wrote for us: ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and father children for his brother.’

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

Then some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

So he told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

There were seven brothers. The first one married, and when he died he had no children.

In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her.”

For Herod himself had sent men, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her.
