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 HerodG2264.1

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 .
