John the baptist- Mark 6:17–29

For Herod had laid hold of John and bound

him, and put him in prison for the sake of

Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. Because

John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you

to have her.” And although he wanted to put

him to death, he feared the multitudes because

they counted him as a prophet.

But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated,

the daughter of Herodias danced before them

and pleased Herod. Therefore he promised with

an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

So she, having been prompted by her mother,

said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on

a platter.”

And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because

of the oaths and because of those who sat with

him, he commanded it to be given to her. So he

sent and had John beheaded in prison. And his

head was brought on a platter and given to the

girl, and she brought it to her mother. Then his

disciples came and took away the body and

buried it, and went and told Jesus.
