1AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076 heardG191 of the fameG189 of JesusG2424,1 2AndG2532 saidG2036 to hisG846 servantsG3816, ThisG3778 isG2076 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; heG846 hath risenG1453 fromG575 the deadG3498; andG2532 thereforeG1223G5124 mighty worksG1411 do show forth themselvesG1754 inG1722 himG846.2 3ForG1063 HerodG2264 had laid holdG2902 on JohnG2491, and boundG1210 himG846, andG2532 putG5087 him inG1722 prisonG5438 for the sakeG1223 of HerodiasG2266, hisG846 brotherG80 Philip’sG5376 wifeG1135. 4ForG1063 JohnG2491 had saidG3004 to himG846, It isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for theeG4671 to haveG2192 herG846. 5AndG2532 when he wouldG2309 have putG615 himG846 to deathG615, he fearedG5399 the multitudeG3793, becauseG3754 they countedG2192 himG846 asG5613 a prophetG4396. 6ButG1161 when Herod’sG2264 birthdayG1077 was keptG71, the daughterG2364 of HerodiasG2266 dancedG3738 before themG1722G3319, andG2532 pleasedG700 HerodG2264.3 7ThereforeG3606 he promisedG3670 withG3326 an oathG3727 to giveG1325 herG846 whateverG3739G1437 she would askG154. 8AndG1161 she, being before instructedG4264 byG5259 herG846 motherG3384, saidG5346, GiveG1325 meG3427 hereG5602 the headG2776 of JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 onG1909 a platterG4094. 9AndG2532 the kingG935 was sorryG3076: nevertheless forG1161G1223 the sakeG3727 of the oath andG2532 them who sat eating with himG4873, he commandedG2753 it to be givenG1325 her . 10AndG2532 he sentG3992, and beheadedG607 JohnG2491 inG1722 the prisonG5438. 11AndG2532 hisG846 headG2776 was broughtG5342 onG1909 a platterG4094, andG2532 givenG1325 to the girlG2877: andG2532 she broughtG5342 it to herG846 motherG3384. 12AndG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and took upG142 the bodyG4983, andG2532 buriedG2290 itG846, andG2532 wentG2064 and toldG518 JesusG2424.
