Mark 6:22-25

22His daughter, that is, Herodias’ daughter, came in and danced. Herod and his guests were delighted with her. The king told the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.”

23He swore an oath to her: “I’ll give you anything you ask for, up to half of my kingdom.”

24So she went out and asked her mother, “What should I ask for?” Her mother said, “Ask for the head of John the Baptizer.”

25So the girl hurried back to the king with her request. She said, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptizer on a platter at once.”
