21And a suitable day came when Herod, on his birthday, gave a banquet for his courtiers and military tribunes and the most prominent men of Galilee. 22And whenc the daughter of Herodias herselfd came in and danced and pleasede Herod and his dinner guests,f the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want, and I will give it* to you.” 23And he swore to her,g “Anything whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom!” 24And she went out and* said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the baptizer.” 25And she came in immediately with haste to the king and* asked, saying, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.” 26And although he* was deeply grieved, the king, because of hish oaths and dinner guests,i did not want to refuse her. 27And immediately the king sent an executioner and* ordered him* to bring his head. And he went and* beheaded him in the prison. 28And he brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
