Had a quarrel against him. The literal Greek, “was having [it] in for him,” corresponds almost exactly to the modern colloquial expression, “had it in for him.” Herodias hated John and bided her time to kill him. Knowing of the influence that John had exercised over the mind of Herod Antipas (see on v. 20), Herodias probably feared that the tetrarch might divorce her as John had advised (cf. DA 214).
