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.
