Matthew 14:4-9
4becauseG1063 JohnG2491 had been tellingG2036 himG846, “It is not lawfulG3756G1832 for youG4771 to haveG2192 herG846.” 5AlthoughG2532 Herod wantedG2309 to killG615 John, he was afraidG5399 of theG3588 peopleG3793, becauseG3754 they regardedG2192 John asG5613 a prophetG4396.
6OnG3588 Herod’sG2264 birthdayG1077G1096, howeverG1161, theG3588 daughterG2364 of HerodiasG2266 dancedG3738 before themG1722G3588G3319 andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264 7so much thatG3606 he promisedG3670 withG3326 an oathG3727 to giveG1325 to herG846 whateverG3739G1437 she askedG154.
PromptedG4264 byG5259 herG846 motherG3384, she saidG5346, “GiveG1325 meG1473 hereG5602 onG1909 a platterG4094 theG3588 headG2776 of JohnG2491 theG3588 BaptistG910.”
TheG3588 kingG935 was grievedG3076, but because ofG1223 his oathsG3727 andG2532 his guestsG3588G4873, he ordered thatG2753 her wish be grantedG1325
