Matthew(i)
18 Ihon sayd vnto Herode: It is not lawful for the to haue thy brothers wyfe.
19 Herodias layed wayte for him, and woulde haue killed him, but she could not.
20 For Herode feared Iohan, knowinge that he was a iust man and an holy: and gaue him reuerence: and when he hearde hym, he did many thynges, and heard him gladly.
21 But when a conuement daye was come: Herode on his byrth day made a supper to the lordes, captaynes, and chief estates of Galile.
22 And the doughter of the sayd Herodias came in and daunsed, and pleased Herode, and them that sate at bourde also. Then the kyng sayde vnto the mayden: axe of me what thou wilt, & I wil geue it the.
23 And he sware to her, whatsoeuer thou shalt axe of me, I wil geue it the, euen vnto the halfe of my kyngdome.
24 And she went forth & sayde to her mother: what shal I axe? And she said: Ihon Baptistes head.
