4ForG1063 JohnG3588G2491 saidG3004 unto himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4771 to haveG2192 herG846.

5AndG2532 whenG2309 heG846 would haveG2309 put him to deathG615, he fearedG5399 the multitudeG3588G3793, becauseG3754 they countedG2192 himG846 asG5613 a prophetG4396.

6But whenG1161 Herod’sG3588G2264 birthdayG1077 was keptG71, the daughterG3588G2364 of HerodiasG3588G2266 dancedG3738 beforeG1722 themG3319, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG3588G2264.

7WhereuponG3606 he promisedG3670 withG3326 an oathG3727 to giveG1325 herG846 whatsoeverG3739 sheG1437 would askG154.

8AndG1161 she, being before instructedG4264 ofG5259 herG846 motherG3588G3384, saidG5346, GiveG1325 meG1473 hereG5602 JohnG2491 Baptist’sG3588G910 headG3588G2776 inG1909 a chargerG4094.

9AndG2532 the kingG3588G935 was sorryG3076: neverthelessG1161 forG1223 the oath’s sakeG3588G3727, andG2532 them which sat with him at meatG4873, he commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 her.
