📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, John the Baptist was a prophet who fearlessly challenged Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee and Perea, for marrying his brother Philip's wife, Herodias, which violated Jewish laws from the Old Testament as outlined in Leviticus. This marriage was considered incestuous and unlawful under Mosaic law, leading to John's imprisonment as Herod sought to silence his criticism. The event highlights the tension between religious authority and political power in ancient Judea.
