Matthew 14:2-14 And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him. ³ For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother's wife. ⁴ For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her. ⁵ And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet. ⁶ But on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod. ⁷ Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him. ⁸ But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given. ¹⁰ And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother. ¹² And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus. ¹³ Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities. ¹⁴ And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
