Matthew 14:4-9

4For JohnG2491 had been sayingG3004 to him, “1It is not lawfulG1832 for you to haveG2192 her.” 5Although Herod wantedG2309 to putG615 him to deathG615, he fearedG5399 the crowdG3793, becauseG3754 they regardedG2192 2JohnG846 as 3a prophetG4396.

6But when Herod’sG2264 birthdayG1077 cameG1096, the daughterG2364 of 4HerodiasG2266 dancedG3738 5beforeG1722G3319 them and pleasedG700 6HerodG2264, 7soG3606 much that he promisedG3670 with an oathG3727 to giveG1325 her whateverG3739G1437 she askedG154. 8Having been promptedG4264 by her motherG3384, she saidG5346, “GiveG1325 me hereG5602 on a platterG4094 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.” 9Although he was grievedG3076, the kingG935 commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 becauseG1223 of his oathsG3727, and because of 7his dinnerG4873 guestsG4873.
