Marc 6:26 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:26

And the king was exceeding sorry
(See Gill on Matthew 14:9)

yet for his oath's sake, [and] for their sakes which sat with him;
as Matthew adds, "at meat", ( Matthew 14:9 ) ; for it seems as if supper was not over, when all this was transacting.

He would not reject her;
deny her her request, or send her away without granting it which could not be without grieving her, and treating her with contempt, and defrauding her of the promise; all which ideas are expressed by some versions.

Marc 6:26 In-Context

24 Etant sortie, elle dit à sa mère: Que demanderai-je? Et sa mère répondit: La tête de Jean Baptiste.
25 Elle s'empressa de rentrer aussitôt vers le roi, et lui fit cette demande: Je veux que tu me donnes à l'instant, sur un plat, la tête de Jean Baptiste.
26 Le roi fut attristé; mais, à cause de ses serments et des convives, il ne voulut pas lui faire un refus.
27 Il envoya sur-le-champ un garde, avec ordre d'apporter la tête de Jean Baptiste. Le garde alla décapiter Jean dans la prison,
28 et apporta la tête sur un plat. Il la donna à la jeune fille, et la jeune fille la donna à sa mère.
