JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ And Herod, having heard, said, That John whom I beheaded, this is he; he was raised from the dead. ¹⁷ For this Herod, having sent, took John, and bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife: for he married her. ¹⁸ For John said to Herod, That it is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. ¹⁹ And Herodias had a grudge against him, and desired to kill him; and could not: ²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing him a just and holy man, and he observed him: and having heard him, did many things, and heard him cheerfully. ²¹ And a convenient day having come, when Herod in the festivities of his birthday made a supper to his leading persons,, and to the captains of thousands, and to the first of Galilee; ²² And the daughter of this Herodias, having come in, and danced, and pleased Herod and those reclining together at table, the king said to the little girl, Ask me whatever thou wishest, and I will give thee. ²³ And he swore to her, That whatever thou shouldest ask, I will give thee, even to half my kingdom. ²⁴ And she having come out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Immerser. ²⁵ And having come quickly with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I wish that thou wouldest give me by itself, upon a board, the head of John the Immerser. ²⁶ And the king having been sorely grieved on account of the oaths and those reclining at table together, wished not to refuse her. ²⁷ And quickly the king, having sent a scout, commanded his head to be brought: ²⁸ And he having departed, beheaded him in prison, and brought his head upon a board, and gave it to the little girl: and the little girl gave it to her mother. ²⁹ And his disciples, having heard, came and took up his corpse, and put it in a tomb.
