Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a reason why Herod put John in prison. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “He did that because”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῷ
˱to˲_him
The pronoun him refers to Herod. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: “to Herod”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἔλεγεν & αὐτῷ & οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν αὐτήν.
/was/_saying & ˱to˲_him & not ˱it˲_/is/_permitting ˱for˲_you /to_be/_having her
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “was saying to him that it was not lawful for him to have her”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
