Mark 6:21-28

21A strategicG2121 dayG2250 cameG1096 whenG3753 HerodG2264 on his birthdayG1077 1gaveG4160 a banquetG1173 for his lordsG3175 and 2militaryG5506 commandersG5506 and the leadingG4413 menG4413 3of GalileeG1056;

22and when the daughterG2364 of 4HerodiasG2266 herselfG846 cameG1525 in and dancedG3738, she pleasedG700 HerodG2264 and 5his 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 6halfG2255 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.”

25ImmediatelyG2117 she cameG1525 in a hurryG4710 to the kingG935 and askedG154, sayingG3004, “I wantG2309 you to giveG1325 me at onceG1824 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 on a platterG4094.”

26And although the kingG935 was veryG4036 sorryG4036, yet becauseG1223 of his oathsG3727 and because of 7his dinnerG345 guestsG345, he was unwillingG3756G2309 to refuseG114 her.

27ImmediatelyG2117 the kingG935 sentG649 an executionerG4688 and commandedG2004 him to bringG5342 back his headG2776. And he wentG565 and had him beheadedG607 in the prisonG5438,

28and broughtG5342 his headG2776 on a platterG4094, and gaveG1325 it to the girlG2877; and the girlG2877 gaveG1325 it to her motherG3384.
