“For John was not yet cast into prison.”
(This was before John was put in prison) — the parenthetical note anchors the narrative before the Baptist's imprisonment by Herod, ordering events chronologically. The parenthesis may suggest that John anticipates readers' confusion about how the Baptist continued ministry after Jesus' emergence, clarifying temporal sequence.
