22 Entrou a filha da mesma Herodias, e dançou, e agradou a Herodes e aos que estavam com ele à mesa. Disse então o rei à menina: Pede-me o que quiseres, e eu to darei.

23 E jurou-lhe, dizendo: Tudo o que me pedires te darei, até metade do meu reino.

24 E, saindo ela, perguntou a sua mãe: Que pedirei? E ela disse: A cabeça de João o Batista.

25 E, entrando logo, apressadamente, pediu ao rei, dizendo: Quero que imediatamente me dês num prato a cabeça de João o Batista.

26 E o rei entristeceu-se muito; todavia, por causa do juramento e dos que estavam com ele à mesa, não lha quis negar.

27 E, enviando logo o rei o executor, mandou que lhe trouxessem ali a sua cabeça. E ele foi, e degolou-o na prisão;

28 E trouxe a sua cabeça num prato, e deu-a à menina, e a menina a deu a sua mãe.

22 and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with {him} at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

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

24 And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist.

25 And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

26 And the king, {while} made very sorry, on account of the oaths and those lying at table with {him} would not break his word with her.

27 And immediately the king, having sent one of the guard, ordered his head to be brought. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison,

28 and brought his head upon a dish, and gave it to the damsel, and the damsel gave it to her mother.
