TOV
20. அதேனென்றால் யோவான் நீதியும் பரிசுத்தமுமுள்ளவனென்று ஏரோது அறிந்து, அவனுக்குப் பயந்து, அவனைப் பாதுகாத்து, அவன் யோசனையின்படி அநேக காரியங்களைச் செய்து, விருப்பத்தோடே அவன் சொல்லைக் கேட்டுவந்தான்.

ERVTA
20. யோவானை கொல்ல ஏரோது பயந்தான். யோவான் ஒரு நல்ல பரிசுத்தமான மனிதன் என்று மக்கள் நம்புவதை அவன் அறிந்திருந்தான். ஆகையால் ஏரோது யோவானைக் காப்பாற்றி வந்தான். யோவானின் போதகத்தைக் கேட்பதில் ஏரோது பெருமகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தான். ஆனால் அவனது போதகம் ஏரோதை உறுத்தியது.
