Exegesis
The direct object is first named explicitly as Ioannen {Ἰωάννην | Iōannēn} ‘John’ and then resumed by the pronoun auton {αὐτὸν | autón} ‘him’, a stylistic redundancy that keeps John in focus.
In context — Matthew 14:3
For Herod , having seized John, bound him and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias , the wife of Philip, his brother.
