Mark 6:16-22

¹⁶But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

¹⁷For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

¹⁸For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

¹⁹And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;

²⁰For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

²¹And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

²²And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.
