Mark 6:19-24

19And 1HerodiasG2266 heldG1758 aG1758 grudgeG1758 againstG1758 him and wantedG2309 to putG615 him toG615 deathG615, and couldG1410 not do so;

20for 2HerodG2264 wasG5399 afraidG5399 of JohnG2491, knowingG3609 that he was a righteousG1342 and holyG40 manG435, and he had been protectingG4933 him. And when he heardG191 him, he was veryG4183 perplexedG639; and yet he 3used to enjoyG2234 listeningG191 to him.

21An opportuneG2121 dayG2250 cameG1096 whenG3753 HerodG2264, on his birthdayG1077, 4heldG4160 a banquetG1173 for his noblesG3175 and militaryG5506 commandersG5506, and the leadingG4413 peopleG4413 5of GalileeG1056;

22and when the daughterG2364 of 6HerodiasG2266 herselfG846 cameG1525 inG1525 and dancedG3738, she pleasedG700 HerodG2264 and 7his 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 8halfG2255 of my kingdomG932.”

24And she wentG1831 outG1831 and saidG3004 to her motherG3384, “WhatG5101 shall I askG154 for?” And she saidG3004, “The headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG907.”
