Mark 6:19-24
191HerodiasG2266 hadG1758 a grudgeG1758 againstG1758 him and wantedG2309 to putG615 him to deathG615 and couldG1410 not do so;
20for 2HerodG2264 was afraidG5399 of JohnG2491, knowingG3609 that he was a righteousG1342 and holyG40 manG435, and he keptG4933 him safeG4933. And when he heardG191 him, he was veryG4183 perplexedG639; 3but he 4used to enjoyG2234 listeningG191 to him.
21A strategicG2121 dayG2250 cameG1096 whenG3753 HerodG2264 on his birthdayG1077 5gaveG4160 a banquetG1173 for his lordsG3175 and 6militaryG5506 commandersG5506 and the leadingG4413 menG4413 7of GalileeG1056;
22and when the daughterG2364 of 8HerodiasG2266 herselfG846 cameG1525 in and dancedG3738, she pleasedG700 HerodG2264 and 9his dinnerG4873 guestsG4873; and the kingG935 saidG3004 to the girlG2877, “AskG154 me for whateverG3739G1437 you wantG2309 and I will giveG1325 it to you.”
23And he sworeG3660 to her, “WhateverG3739G1437 you askG154 of me, I will giveG1325 it to you; up to 10halfG2255 of my kingdomG932.”
24And she wentG1831 out and saidG3004 to her motherG3384, “WhatG5101 shall I askG154 for?” And she saidG3004, “The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG907.”
