... prison, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip’s wife, whom he [7] had taken. And John said to Herod, Thou hast no authority to take the wife of thy [8] brother. And Herodias avoided him and wished to kill him; and she could not. [9] But Herod feared John, for he knew that he was a righteous man and a holy; and [10] he guarded him, and heard him much, and did, and obeyed him with gladness. And he wished to kill him; but he feared the people, for they adhered to him as the [11] prophet.[Mark 6:21] And there was a celebrated day, and Herod had made a feast for his great men on the day of his anniversary, and for the officers and for the chief men [12] of Galilee.

27.

What could she have learnt from an adulteress but loss of modesty?
