Mark:6:14-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And king Herod heard (
5656 )
of him ; (
for his name was (
5633 )
spread abroad :)
and he said (
5707 ),
That John the Baptist (
5723 )
was risen (
5681 )
from the dead ,
and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves (
5719 )
in him .
*
Others said (
5707 ),
That it is (
5748 )
Elias .
And others said (
5707 ),
That it is (
5748 )
a prophet ,
or as one of the prophets .
*
But when Herod heard (
5660 )
thereof ,
he said (
5627 ),
It is (
5748 )
John ,
whom I beheaded (
5656 ):
he is risen (
5681 )
from the dead .
*
For Herod himself had sent forth (
5660 )
and laid hold (
5656 )
upon John ,
and bound (
5656 )
him in prison for Herodias sake ,
his brother Philips wife :
for he had married (
5656 )
her .
*
For John had said (
5707 )
unto Herod ,
It is not lawful (
5748 )
for thee to have (
5721 )
thy brothers wife .
*
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel (
5707 )
against him ,
and would (
5707 )
have killed (
5658 )
him ;
but she could (
5711 )
not :
*
For Herod feared (
5711 )
John ,
knowing (
5761 )
that he was a just man and an holy ,
and observed (
5707 )
him ;
and when he heard (
5660 )
him ,
he did (
5707 )
many things ,
and heard (
5707 )
him gladly .
*
And when a convenient day was come (
5637 ),
that Herod on his birthday made (
5707 )
a supper to his lords ,
high captains ,
and chief estates of Galilee ;
*
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in (
5631 ),
and danced (
5666 ),
and pleased (
5660 )
Herod and them that sat with him (
5740 ),
the king said (
5627 )
unto the damsel ,
Ask (
5657 )
of me whatsoever thou wilt (
5725 ),
and I will give (
5692 )
it thee .
*
And he sware (
5656 )
unto her ,
Whatsoever thou shalt ask (
5661 )
of me ,
I will give (
5692 )
it thee ,
unto the half of my kingdom .
*
And she went forth (
5631 ),
and said (
5627 )
unto her mother ,
What shall I ask (
5698 )?
And she said (
5627 ),
The head of John the Baptist .
*
And she came in (
5631 )
straightway with haste unto the king ,
and asked (
5668 ),
saying (
5723 ),
I will (
5719 )
that thou give (
5632 )
me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist .
*
And the king was (
5637 )
exceeding sorry ;
yet for his oaths sake ,
and for their sakes which sat with him (
5740 ),
he would (
5656 )
not reject (
5658 )
her .
*
And immediately the king sent (
5660 )
an executioner ,
and commanded (
5656 )
his head to be brought (
5683 ):
and he went (
5631 )
and beheaded (
5656 )
him in the prison ,
*
And brought (
5656 )
his head in a charger ,
and gave (
5656 )
it to the damsel :
and the damsel gave (
5656 )
it to her mother .
