ULT For Herod, having seized John, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

UST Herod said that because John had already died. Here is how that happened: Herod married Herodias, who had previously been the wife of Herod’s brother Philip. John the Baptizer told Herod, “Our law forbids you to marry Herodias, your sister-in-law.” So, Herod told his soldiers to arrest John. They tied him up and put him in jail.

TCNT For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

T4T The reason Herod thought that was this: Herod had married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, while Philip was still living. So John had been saying to him, “What you did by marrying your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s law!” Then, to please Herodias, Herod told his soldiers to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces background information that tells about how John died. This background information continues in 14:4–12. In your translation, present this information in a way that makes it clear that this is background information, not the next event in the story. Alternate translation: “Now sometime earlier,” or “By this time, John had already died. Here is what happened:”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὁ & Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην, ἔδησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ ἀπέθετο, διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα, τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

¬the & Herod /having/_apprehended ¬the John bound him and in prison put_away_‹him› because_of Herodias the wife ˱of˲_Philip the brother ˱of˲_him

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these elements, since the second half of the verse gives the reason for the result that the first half of the verse describes. Alternate translation: “Because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, Herod, having seized John, bound him and put him in prison”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ & Ἡρῴδης κρατήσας τὸν Ἰωάννην, ἔδησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐν φυλακῇ ἀπέθετο

¬the & Herod /having/_apprehended ¬the John bound him and in prison put_away_‹him›

Here Matthew implies that Herod sent his soldiers to do these things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Herod sent his soldiers to seize John, bind him, and put him in prison”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα, τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

because_of Herodias the wife ˱of˲_Philip the brother ˱of˲_him

Here Matthew implies that Herod married Herodias after she divorced Philip, Herod’s brother. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “because of Herodias, whom he married after she divorced his brother Philip”

Note 5 topic: writing-participants

Ἡρῳδιάδα, τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

Herodias the wife ˱of˲_Philip the brother ˱of˲_him

Here Matthew introduces Herodias as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “a woman named Herodias, who was the wife of his brother Philip”

Note 6 topic: translate-names

Φιλίππου

˱of˲_Philip

The word Philip is the name of a man.

Note 7 topic: translate-kinship

τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

the brother ˱of˲_him

It is not certain whether Philip was older or younger than Herod, but it is slightly more likely that he was older. So, if you have to use a form that refers to an older or younger brother, you could state that Philip was older. Alternate translation: “his older brother”

Note 8 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_him

The pronoun his refers to Herod. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: “Herod’s”
