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, that Herod on his birth-day made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [men] of Galilee;

22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod, and them that sat with him, the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.

23 And he swore to her, Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give [it] thee, to the half of my kingdom.

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

25 And she came in forthwith with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou shouldst give me, immediately, in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.
