16 But when Herod heard this, he said,“John, whom I beheaded, has been raised!”
17 For 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.
18 For John had repeatedly told Herod,“It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against him and wanted to kill him. But she could not

23 He swore to her,“Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
24 So she went out and said to her mother,“What should I ask for?” Her mother said,“The head of John the baptizer.”
