In Context

21 Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

22 When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, |Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.|

23 He swore to her, |Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.|

24 She went out, and said to her mother, |What shall I ask?| She said, |The head of John the Baptizer.|

25 She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, |I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.|

26 The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn't wish to refuse her.
