17 For Herod himself having sent, arrested John, and bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip: because he married her.
18 For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.
19 And Herodias hated him, and wished to kill him; and was not able;
20 for Herod was afraid of John, knowing him to be a just and holy man, and he continued to hold him in prison: and hearing him, he continued to do many things, and he was hearing him gladly.
21 And it being a high day, when Herod on his birthday made a feast to his mighty men, and chiliarchs, and the first men of Galilee;
22 and the daughter of Herodias herself, having come in and danced, and pleased Herod and those sitting with him; the king said to the damsel. Ask what you may wish, and I will give it to you.
23 And he promised her, I will give you whatsoever you may ask, even unto the half of my kingdom.
24 And having gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 And she having come in to the king, immediately with haste asked him, saying; I wish, that you may give to me immediately, the head of John the Baptist in a charger.
26 And the king being grieved exceedingly; on account of his oaths, and those sitting with him, was not willing to reject her.
