6 On Herod’s birthday, however, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod
7 so much that he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she asked.
8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
9 The king was grieved, but because of his oaths and his guests, he ordered that her wish be granted
10 and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.
11 John’s head was brought in on a platter and presented to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
12 Then John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it. And they went and informed Jesus.
