Matthew 14:1-8

1 ¹At that time ²Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,

2 and said to his servants, "³This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."

3 For when ⁴Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him ⁵in prison because of ⁶Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

4 For John had been saying to him, "⁷It is not lawful for you to have her."

5 Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as ⁸a prophet.

6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of ⁹Herodias danced before * them and pleased ¹⁰Herod,

7 so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever * she asked.

8 Having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
