41:006:016 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I
beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
41:006:017 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
41:006:018 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to
have thy brother's wife.
41:006:019 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have
killed him; but she could not:
41:006:020 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an
holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many
things, and heard him gladly.
41:006:021 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday
made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates
of Galilee;
41:006:022 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
41:006:023 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will
give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
41:006:024 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I
ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
41:006:025 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
