Mark 6:16-29 Yet, hearing of it, Herod said that "John, whom I behead, he was roused from among the dead."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Yet, hearing of it, Herod said that "John, whom I behead, he was roused from among the dead." ¹⁷ For he, Herod, dispatches and holds John and binds him in jail, because of Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother, seeing that he marries her." ¹⁸ For John said to Herod that "It is not allowed you to have the wife of your brother." ¹⁹ Now Herodias hemmed him in, and wanted to kill him, and could not, ²⁰ for Herod feared John, being aware that he is a just and holy man, and he preserved him. And hearing him, he was much perplexed, and heard him with relish." ²¹ And, an opportune day coming when Herod at his birthday celebrations makes a dinner for his magnates and captains and for the foremost men of Galilee, ²² and at her, Herodias' daughter's, entering and dancing, she pleases Herod and those lying back at table with him. Now the king said to the maiden, "Request of me whatsoever you may be wanting, and I will give it to you." ²³ And he swears to her that "Whatsoever you should be requesting me, I will give you, to the half of my kingdom." ²⁴ And, coming out, she said to her mother, "What should I be requesting?Now she said, "The head of John the baptist." ²⁵ And entering straightway with diligence to the king, she requests, saying, "I want that you forthwith may be giving me on a platter the head of John the baptist." ²⁶ And the king, becoming sorrow-stricken, because of the oaths and those lying back at table with him, does not want to repudiate her." ²⁷ And straightway the king, dispatching, enjoins a lifeguardsman to bring his head. And, coming away, he beheads him in the jail, ²⁸ and carries his head on a platter, and gives it to the maiden, and the maiden gives it to her mother." ²⁹ And hearing of it, his disciples came and take away his corpse, and they place it in a tomb."
