Mark 6

22 And when the daughter of that Herodias was come in, and danced, and pleased to Herod [or and pleased Herod], and also to men that sat at the meat, the king said to the damsel, Ask thou of me what thou wilt, and I shall give to thee.

23 And he swore to her, That what-ever thou ask, I shall give to thee, though it be half of my kingdom.

24 And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John [the] Baptist.

25 And when she was come in anon with haste to the king, she asked, and said, I will that anon, thou give to me in a dish the head of John Baptist.

26 And the king was sorry [or sorrowful] for the oath, and for men that sat together at the meat, he would not make her sorry [or heavy];

27 but he sent a man-queller and commanded, that John’s head were brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in the prison,

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