Matthew 14:6-12

ACV(i) 6 But Herod's birthday being brought, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask. 8 And she, having been put forward by her mother, says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the immerser. 9 And he became sad, but because of the oaths, and of those dining together, the king commanded it to be given. 10 And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the maiden, and she brought it to her mother. 12 And after coming, his disciples took up the body and buried it, and having gone, they informed Jesus.
