Mark 6:14-29

ECB(i) 14
HEROD FEARS YAHN THE BAPTIZER
And sovereign Herod hears of him; - for his name is spread manifestly: and he words, Yahn the Baptizer rises from the dead and because of this dynamis energizes in him. 15 Others word, He is Eli Yah. And others word, He is a prophet. Or, As one of the prophets. 16 And Herod hears thereof, and says, He is Yahn, whom I beheaded: he rose from the dead. 17 - for Herod himself had apostolized and overpowered Yahn, and bound him in the guardhouse for sake of Herodias the woman of his brother Philippos - because he had married her. 18 - for Yahn had worded to Herod, You are not allowed to have the woman of your brother. 19 - but Herodias begrudged him and willed to slaughter him; but she could not: 20 for Herod awed Yahn, knowing he was a just and holy man; and guarded him; and he heard him and did much; and heard him with pleasure. 21
THE BIRTHDAY SUPPER OF HEROD
And so be it, an opportune day: and on his birthday Herod prepares a supper to his magistrates, chiliarchs and preeminent of Galiyl: 22 and the daughter of Herodias enters and dances; and pleases Herod and those who repose with him. And the sovereign says to the maiden, Ask of me whatever you will, and I give you. 23 - and he oaths to her, Whatever you ask of me, I give You, to the half of my sovereigndom. 24 And she goes, and says to her mother, What ask I? And she says, The head of Yahn the Baptizer. 25 And straightway she enters with diligence to the sovereign and asks, wording, I will that you give me, immediately on a platter, the head of Yahn the Baptizer. 26 And the sovereign becomes extremely sorrowful; yet for sake of his oath, and for the sakes of them who repose with him, he wills to not set her aside. 27
HEROD HAS YAHN THE BAPTIZER BEHEADED
And straightway the sovereign apostolizes a speculator and orders him to bring his head: and he goes and beheads him in the guardhouse; 28 and brings his head on a platter and gives it to the maiden: and the maiden gives it to her mother: 29 and his disciples hear thereof and come and take his carcase and place it in a tomb.
