Matthew 14:3-12

Etheridge(i) 3 For he, Herodes, had seized Juchanon, and bound him, and cast him (into) the house of the chained, because of Herodia the wife of Philip his brother. 4 For Juchanon had said to him, It is not lawful that she should be to thee a wife. 5 And he would have killed him, but he feared the people, because as a prophet they held him. 6 But at the birth-day of Herodes, the daughter of Herodia danced before those who reclined, and she pleased Herodes; 7 wherefore with an oath he sware to her to give her whatever she should demand. 8 Then she, because instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of Juchanon the Baptizer. 9 And the king sickened, yet, on account of the oath and the guests, he commanded that it should be given to her. 10 And he sent [and] cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the chained. 11 And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the girl, and she carried it herself to her mother. 12 And his disciples came near, took up his corpse, buried (it), and came and showed Jeshu.
