0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | John the Baptist has been in prison since approximately the start of Jesus |
0:16.6 | ministry. Herod Antipas arrested him after he rebuked Herod for marrying |
0:20.9 | his brother's wife who is named Herod |
0:22.8 | because she's actually the granddaughter of King Herod the Great which means |
