    16But when Herod heard of it, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded; he is risen from the dead.

    17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.

    23And he swore to her, Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.

    24And she went out, and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

    25And she came in straightway with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I want you to give me at once on a platter the head of John the Baptist.
