They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "Yochanan the immerser has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers work in him."
15
But others said, "It is Eliyah." Others said, "It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets."
16
But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is Yochanan, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead."
17
For Herod himself had sent out and arrested Yochanan, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Pilipos's wife, for he had married her.
18
For Yochanan said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
19
Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she couldn't,
20
for Herod feared Yochanan, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

When a convenient day had come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of the Galil;
22
and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining with him. The king said to the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."
23
He swore to her, "Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
