Mark 6:19-23

¹⁹And Herodias was enraged against him, and wished to put him to death, but could not.

²⁰For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and was regardful of him; and on hearing him, was in much anxiety, and listened to him gladly.

²¹And a convenient day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles and chief captains and the principal men of Galilee,

²²and the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those at table with him; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

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