And he promised her on oath, "I will give you anything you ask for, up to half of my kingdom."

Then she rushed at once before the king, and made this request, "I want you this very minute to give me John the Baptist's head on a platter."

But He answered them, "Give them something to eat yourselves." Then they said to Him, "Shall we go and buy forty dollars' worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"
