    16But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

    17For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

    18For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

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

    20For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

    21And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

    22And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

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

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

    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.
