Matthew 14:6-10
6
On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much
7
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8
Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
9
The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her request be granted
10
and had John beheaded in the prison.
