Matthew 14:4-14

4 For John said to him, It is not leaveful to thee to have her.

5 And he willing to slay him, dreaded the people; for they had him as a prophet.

6 But in the day of Herod's birth, the daughter of Herodias danced in the middle, and pleased Herod.

7 Wherefore with an oath he promised to give to her, whatever thing she asked of him.

8 And she before-warned of her mother, said, Give thou to me here the head of John Baptist in a dish.

9 And the king was sorrowful, but for the oath, and for them that sat together at the meat, he commanded to be given.

10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

11 And his head was brought in a dish, and it was given to the damsel, and she bare it to her mother.

12 And his disciples came, and took his body, and buried it; and they came, and told to Jesus.

13 And when Jesus had heard this thing, he went from thence in a boat, into a desert place beside. And when the people had heard, they followed him on their feet from cities.

14 And Jesus went out, and saw a great people [And Jesus, going out, saw a great multitude], and had ruth on them, and he healed the sick men of them.
