Matthew 14:2-14 And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and because of this, powerful works are working in him.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and because of this, powerful works are working in him. ³ For seizing John, Herod bound him and put him into prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. ⁴ For John said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her. ⁵ And desiring to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they held him as a prophet. ⁶ But a birthday feast for Herod being held, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod. ⁷ So then he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask. ⁸ But she being urged on by her mother, she says, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist. ⁹ And the king was grieved, but because of the oaths, and those who had reclined with him, he ordered it to be given. ¹⁰ And sending, he beheaded John in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was brought on a platter and was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. ¹² And having come, his disciples took the body and buried it; and coming, they reported to Jesus. ¹³ And having heard, Jesus withdrew privately from there in a boat, into a deserted place. And hearing, the crowds followed Him on foot out of the cities. ¹⁴ And going out, Jesus saw a great crowd and was filled with pity toward them. And He healed their infirm ones.
