6:14-29 The account of John the Baptist’s death, sandwiched between the sending out and the return of the disciples, continues the theme of Jesus’ authority and power (see 6:7, 14). John’s fate and the warning given to the disciples in their missionary charge (6:11) also foreshadowed Jesus’ death. The one greater even than John (1:8) would soon be handed over to religious and political leaders and put to death (8:31; 9:31; 10:33).

γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a reason why Herodias was not able to kill John. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for something, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “which was because” or “since”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
συνετήρει αὐτόν
/was/_preserving him
Here Mark implies that Herod kept John safe while he was in jail. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he was keeping him safe in prison”
Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants
πολλὰ ἠπόρει
much ˱he˲_/was/_perplexing
Many ancient manuscripts read he was much perplexed. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “he was doing many things.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πολλὰ ἠπόρει
much ˱he˲_/was/_perplexing
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was what John said. Alternate translation: “what John said perplexed him much”
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
