    1At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

    2And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

    3For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

    4Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

    5And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.

    6But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.

    7So he gave her his word with an oath to let her have whatever she might make request for.

    8And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

    9And the king was sad; but because of his oaths and because of his guests, he gave the order for it to be given to her;

    10And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison.

    11And his head was put on a plate and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother.

    25And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

    26And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

    27And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

    19And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;
