Mark 6:18-28

18For JohnG2491 saidG3004 unto HerodG2264, It is not lawfulG1832 for thee to have thy brother’sG80 wifeG1135. 19And HerodiasG2266 set herself against him, and desiredG2309 to killG615 him; and she could not; 20for HerodG2264 fearedG5399 JohnG2491, knowing that he was a righteousG1342 and holyG40 manG435, and kept him safe. And when he heardG191 him, he was muchG4183 perplexedG639; and he heardG191 him gladlyG2234. 21And whenG3753 a convenient dayG2250 was comeG1096, that HerodG2264 on his birthdayG1077 madeG4160 a supperG1173 to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of GalileeG1056; 22and when the daughterG2364 of HerodiasG2266 herself cameG1525 in and dancedG3738, she pleasedG700 HerodG2264 and them that sat at meat with him; and the kingG935 saidG3004 unto the damsel, AskG154 of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will giveG1325 it thee. 23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt askG154 of me, I will giveG1325 it thee, unto the halfG2255 of my kingdomG932. 24And she wentG1831 out, and saidG3004 unto her motherG3384, What shall I askG154? And she saidG3004, The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the Baptizer. 25And she cameG1525 in straightway with haste unto the kingG935, and askedG154, sayingG3004, I willG2309 that thou forthwith giveG1325 me on a platterG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910. 26And the kingG935 was exceeding sorry; but for the sakeG1223 of his oathsG3727, and of them that sat at meat, he would not rejectG114 her. 27And straightway the kingG935 sentG649 forthG649 a soldier of his guard, and commandedG2004 to bringG5342 his headG2776: and he wentG565 and beheadedG607 him in the prisonG5438, 28and broughtG5342 his headG2776 on a platterG4094, and gaveG1325 it to the damsel; and the damsel gaveG1325 it to her motherG3384.
