Mark 6:13-29
\n13 They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.
\n14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus\u2019 name had become known. Some were saying, \u201cJohn the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him.\u201d 15 But others said, \u201cIt is Elijah.\u201d And others said, \u201cIt is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.\u201d 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, \u201cJohn, whom I beheaded, has been raised.\u201d
\n17 For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her. 18 For John had been telling Herod, \u201cIt is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.\u201d 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him. 21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. 22 When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, \u201cAsk me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.\u201d 23 And he solemnly swore to her, \u201cWhatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.\u201d 24 She went out and said to her mother, \u201cWhat should I ask for?\u201d She replied, \u201cThe head of John the baptizer.\u201d 25 Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, \u201cI want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.\u201d 26 The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
