¹⁴ King Herod heard of it, for name had become well known. He and they said, John the Baptist has been raised from the dead; that is why these mighty powers are at work in Him. ¹⁵ others kept saying, It is Elijah! And others said, It is a prophet, like one of the prophets . ¹⁶ But when Herod heard , he said, John, whom I beheaded, has been raised . ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John had told Herod, It is not lawful and you have no right to have your brother's wife. ¹⁹ And Herodias was angry (enraged) with him and held a grudge against him and wanted to kill him; but she could not, ²⁰ For Herod had fear of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe . When he heard , he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly. ²¹ But an opportune time came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and the high military commanders and chief men of Galilee. ²² For when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased and fascinated Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, Ask me for whatever you desire, and I will give it to you. ²³ And he put himself under oath to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom. ²⁴ Then she left the room and said to her mother, What shall I ask for ? And she replied, The head of John the Baptist! ²⁵ And she rushed back instantly to the king and requested, saying, I wish you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter. ²⁶ And the king was deeply pained and grieved and exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to slight her . ²⁷ And immediately the king sent off one of his bodyguard and gave him orders to bring head. He went and beheaded him in the prison ²⁸ And brought his head on a platter and handed it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. ²⁹ When his disciples learned of it, they came and took body and laid it in a tomb.
