    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.

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

    19Therefore Herodias held a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him; but she could not:

    20For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

    21And when a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his lords, high captains, and chief men of Galilee;

    22And when the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, Ask of me whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.

    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.

    26And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet because of his oath's sake, and for the sakes of those who sat with him, he would not refuse her.

    27And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

    28And brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl: and the girl gave it to her mother.

    29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.

    1At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

    2And said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works are shown forth in him.

    3For Herod had seized John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

    4For John had said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her.

    5And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.

    6But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,

    7So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask.

    8And she, having been prompted by her mother, said, Give me here the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

    9And the king was sorry: nevertheless, because of the oath, and those who sat with him at the table, he commanded it to be given to her.

    10And he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
