Matthew 14:3 confirms John's arrest was directly because of his rebuke about Herodias — the same event from another gospel.

Matthew 14:4 records John's identical rebuke to Herod — a parallel account of the same confrontation.

Luke 3:19 Parallel

Luke 3:19 records the same event: Herod was reproved by John for Herodias. This is a synoptic parallel confirming the account.
