For John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." And, wishing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they were holding him as a prophet. But, on a birthday celebration of Herod, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask. And she, urged on by her mother, says, "Give me here upon a plate the head of John the Immerser." And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and of those sitting at the table with them, ordered it to be given; and, having sent, he beheaded John in the prison; and his head was brought upon a plate, and given to the damsel; and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples, coming, took up the corpse, and buried it; and, coming, they told Jesus;

But Herod, hearing of Him, said, "It is he whom I beheaded, John, the same was raised."

And he swore to her, "Whatsoever you ask of me, I will give it to you, unto half of my kingdom." And, having gone out, she said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Immerser." And, coming in straight-way, in haste, to the king, she asked, saying, "I wish that you would, forthwith, give me on a dish, the head of John the Immerser." And, though becoming very sorrowful, the king, because of his oaths, and those reclining with him, would not thwart her. And the king, straightway sending off one of his guard, gave orders to bring his head; and, departing, he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother. And, having heard of it, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and placed it in a tomb.
