Matthew 14:6-9

6But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;

7whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

8But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

9And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with [him], he commanded [it] to be given.
