Mark 6:23-28 And he swears to her that "Whatsoever you should be requesting me, I will give you, to the half of my kingdom."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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."
