1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus;
2
and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him."
3
For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, for the sake of Hero'di-as, his brother Philip's wife;
4
because John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
5
And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.
6
But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Hero'di-as danced before the company, and pleased Herod,
7
so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.
