22 And 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.

23 And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.

24 And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

25 And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

26 And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

27 And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

28 And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

22 헤로디아의 딸이 친히 들어와 춤을 추어 헤롯과 및 함께 앉은 자들을 기쁘게 한지라 왕이 그 여아에게 이르되 무엇이든지 너 원하는 것을 내게 구하라 내가 주리라' 하고

23 또 맹세하되 무엇이든지 네가 내게 구하면 내 나라의 절반까지라도 주리라' 하거늘

24 저가 나가서 그 어미에게 말하되 내가 무엇을 구하리이까 ?' 그 어미가 가로되 세례 요한의 머리를 구하라' 하니

25 저가 곧 왕에게 급히 들어가 구하여 가로되 세례 요한의 머리를 소반에 담아 곧 내게 주기를 원하옵나이다' 한대

26 왕이 심히 근심하나 자기의 맹세한 것과 그 앉은 자들을 인하여 저를 거절할 수 없는지라

27 왕이 곧 시위병 하나를 보내어 요한의 머리를 가져오라' 명하니 그 사람이 나가 옥에서 요한을 목 베어

28 그 머리를 소반에 담아다가 여아에게 주니 여아가 이것을 그 어미에게 주니라
