1The Death of John the Baptist At that time Herod the tetrarch heard reports about Jesus,
2and he said to his servants,“This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead! And because of this, miraculous powers are at work in him.”
3For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4because John had repeatedly told him,“It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5Although Herod wanted to kill John, he feared the crowd because they accepted John as a prophet.
6But on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod,
7so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8Instructed by her mother, she said,“Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.”
9Although it grieved the king, because of his oath and the dinner guests he commanded it to be given.
10So he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.
11His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12Then John’s disciples came and took the body and buried it and went and told Jesus.

17For Herod himself had sent men, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her.
18For John had repeatedly told Herod,“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could not
20because Herod stood in awe of John and protected him, since he knew that John was a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard him, he was thoroughly baffled, and yet he liked to listen to John.
21But a suitable day came, when Herod gave a banquet on his birthday for his court officials, military commanders, and leaders of Galilee.
22When his daughter 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.”
23He swore to her,“Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
24So she went out and said to her mother,“What should I ask for?” Her mother said,“The head of John the baptizer.”
25Immediately she hurried back to the king and made her request:“I want the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”
26Although it grieved the king deeply, he did not want to reject her request because of his oath and his guests.
27So the king sent an executioner at once to bring John’s head, and he went and beheaded John in prison.
28He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
29When John’s disciples heard this, they came and took his body and placed it in a tomb.
