20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy
man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly
perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him. 21 But an opportunity
came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers
and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. 22 When his daughter
Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and
the king said to the girl, ‘Ask me for whatever you wish, and I
will give it.’ 23 And he solemnly swore to her, ‘Whatever you ask
me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.’ 24 She went out and
said to her mother, ‘What should I ask for?’ She replied, ‘The head
of John the baptizer.’ 25 Immediately she rushed back to the king
and requested, ‘I want you to give me at once the head of John the
Baptist on a platter.’ 26 The king was deeply grieved; yet out of
regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse
her.
