Matthew(i)
3 For Herode had taken Ihon and bounde hym, & put hym in pryson for Herodias sake hys brother Philips wyfe.
4 For Ihon sayd vnto him. It is not lawfull for the to haue her.
5 And when he would haue put him to deth, he feared the people, because they counted hym as a Prophet.
6 But when Herodes byrth daie was come, the daughter of Heeodias daunsed before them and pleased Herode.
7 Wherefore he promysed with an othe, that he woulde geue her whatsoeuer she woulde axe.
8 And she beynge informed of her mother before sayd: geue me here Ihon Baptistes head in a platter.
9 And the king sorowed. Neuertheles for hys othe sake, & for theyr sakes that satte at also at the table, he commaunded it to be geuen her:
10 and sent & beheaded Ihon in the pryson,
11 and hys headde was brought in a platter and geuen to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
12 And hys disciples came and toke vp the body, and buried it: and went and tolde Iesus.
