¹ At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king; ² And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him. ³ For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. ⁴ Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her. ⁵ And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her. ⁷ So he gave her his word with an oath to let her have whatever she might make request for. ⁸ And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was sad; but because of his oaths and because of his guests, he gave the order for it to be given to her; ¹⁰ And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was put on a plate and given to the girl; and she took it to her mother. ¹² And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.
