Mark 6:22-25

22The daughter of Herodias came in and she danced. Herod and his visitors were very happy when they saw her dance. King Herod said to the girl, ‘Ask me for anything that you want. I will give it to you.’

23He made a strong promise, ‘I will give you anything that you ask me to give to you. I will even give you half of everything that I rule over.’

24The girl went out and she said to her mother, ‘What should I ask him for?’ Her mother replied, ‘Ask for the head of John the Baptist.’

25The girl went quickly to Herod and she said to him, ‘I want the head of John the Baptist. Put it on a plate! Do it now!’
