    22When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, 'Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it to you.'

    23And he promised her with an oath, 'Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.'

    25At once the girl hurried in to the king with her request. 'I want you to give me, right now, the head of John the Baptist on a platter,' she said.

    28brought back his head on a platter, and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
