1 And at that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus:
2 and he said to his servants: This is John the Baptizer: he is risen from the grave: therefore works of power are wrought by him.
3 Now this Herod had seized John, and bound him and cast him into prison; on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
4 For John had said to him: It is no lawful for her to be thy wife.
5 And he had wished to kill him; but he was afraid of the people, seeing that they regarded him as a prophet.
6 But when Herod's birthday festival occurred, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests; and she pleased Herod.
7 Therefore he swore to her by an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she might ask.
8 And she, as she had been instructed by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.
9 And it troubled the king: nevertheless, on account of the oath, and the guests, he commanded that it should be given her.
10 And he sent and cut off the head of John in the prison.
