Mf. 14, 3-5;

Mk. 6, 17-20;

Lux. 3, 19-20.

Herod the tetrarch, who was rebuked by John the Baptist for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all that Herod had done evil, added to everything else that he had imprisoned John. For this Herod, having sent, took John, bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her; For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have her, your brother's wife.

Herodias, being angry with him for this, wanted to kill him, but could not. And Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid of the people, because he was considered a prophet. Herod feared John himself, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man; and he took care of him, and obeying him, he did many things, and listened to him with pleasure.

30. The sojourn in Samaria.

It behooved the Lord Jesus to pass through Samaria. He came to the city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land given by Jacob to his son Joseph. There was the well of Jacob. The Lord Jesus, having labored from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about six o'clock.

A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. The Lord Jesus said to her, "Give me something to drink" (and His disciples went out into the city to buy food).
