Rotherham(i)
1 In that season, heard Herod the tetrarch, the fame of Jesus:
2 and he said unto his servants––This, is John the Immerser,––he hath arisen from the dead, for this cause, are the powers working mightily within him.
3 For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away,––because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;
4 for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.
5 And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.
6 But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod;
7 wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;
8 and, she, being led on by her mother,––Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.
9 And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;
10 and sent and beheaded John in the prison.
