Mark 6:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:23

And he sware unto her
He added an oath to what he had before said, the more to confirm it, and to encourage her in her request, and which he repeated in stronger language:

whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half
of my kingdom; (See Gill on Matthew 14:7).

Mark 6:23 In-Context

21 And when a convenient day had come, when Herod on his birthday gave a supper for his lords, high officers, and chief officials of Galilee,

22 and when the daughter of the said Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, "Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it to thee."

23 And he swore unto her, "Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it to thee, unto the half of my kingdom."

24 And she went forth and said unto her mother, "What shall I ask?" And Herodias said, "The head of John the Baptist."

25 And she came back straightway with haste unto the king and asked, saying, "I will that thou give me at once on a charger the head of John the Baptist."
