Mark 6:18

Context
6:18 For John had repeatedly told 1  Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” 2 

Mark 8:15

Context
8:15 And Jesus 3  ordered them, 4  “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees 5  and the yeast of Herod!”

1 tn The imperfect tense verb is here rendered with an iterative force.

2 sn It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife. This was a violation of OT law (Lev 18:16; 20:21). In addition, both Herod Antipas and Herodias had each left marriages to enter into this union.

3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Grk “was giving them orders, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

5 sn See the note on Pharisees in 2:16.
