    16 But when Herod heard this, he said, 'John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead.'

    17 For Herod himself had sent men to arrest John, and he had him bound and put in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married.

    18 John had been telling Herod, 'It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.'

    19 So Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but she was unable to do so.

    20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. When he heard John speak, he was greatly perplexed, yet he liked to listen to him.

    21 Finally, the opportune time came. On his birthday, Herod gave a banquet for his high officials, military commanders, and the leading men of Galilee.

    22 When 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.'

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

    24 She went out and asked her mother, 'What should I ask for?' Her mother answered, 'The head of John the Baptist.'

    25 At 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.

    26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.

    27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,

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