mkjv - Mark:6:14-29

mkjv@Mark:6:14 @ And king Herod heard [of Him] (for His name had become well-known,) and he said that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead, and therefore mighty works operate in him.

mkjv@Mark:6:15 @ Others said [that it was] Elijah. And others said that he is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

mkjv@Mark:6:16 @ But hearing Herod said, It is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead!

mkjv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent out and laid hold on John and had bound him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. For he had married her,

mkjv@Mark:6:18 @ and John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

mkjv@Mark:6:19 @ And Herodias held it against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not.

mkjv@Mark:6:20 @ For Herod feared John, knowing that [he was] a just and holy man. And he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he did many things and heard him gladly.

mkjv@Mark:6:21 @ And a convenient day came, when Herod made a supper to great men on his birthday, and to the chiliarchs, and to the first ones of Galilee.

mkjv@Mark:6:22 @ And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced and pleased Herod, and those who reclined with [him], the king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you desire from me, and I will give [it] to you.

mkjv@Mark:6:23 @ And he swore to her, Whatever you shall ask from me, I will give [it] to you, to the half of my kingdom.

mkjv@Mark:6:24 @ And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

mkjv@Mark:6:25 @ And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I desire that you give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

mkjv@Mark:6:26 @ And becoming deeply grieved, the king, because of his oath, and those reclining together, he did not wish to reject her.

mkjv@Mark:6:27 @ And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in the prison,

mkjv@Mark:6:28 @ and brought his head in a platter and gave it to the girl. And the girl gave it to her mother.

mkjv@Mark:6:29 @ And when his disciples heard, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
