Matthew 14:4-9

4For JohnG2491 saidG3004 to him, It is not lawfulG1832 for thee to have her.

5And [while] desiringG2309 to killG615 him, he fearedG5399 the crowdG3793, because they heldG2192 him for a prophetG4396.

6But when Herod's birthdayG1077 was celebrated, the daughterG2364 of HerodiasG2266 dancedG3738 before them, and pleasedG700 HerodG2264;

7whereupon he promised with oathG3727 to giveG1325 her whatsoever she should askG154.

8But she, being set on by her motherG3384, saysG5346, GiveG1325 me hereG5602 upon a dish the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the baptistG910.

9And the kingG935 was grievedG3076; but on accountG1223 of the oathsG3727, and those lying at table with [him], he commandedG2753 [it] to be givenG1325.
