Mark:6:14-29

nasb@Mark:6:14 @And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, " John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him."

nasb@Mark:6:15 @But others were saying, "He is Elijah." And others were saying, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old."

nasb@Mark:6:16 @But when Herod heard of it, he kept saying, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen!"

nasb@Mark:6:17 @For Herod himself had sent and had John arrested and bound in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, because he had married her.

nasb@Mark:6:18 @For John had been saying to Herod, " It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."

nasb@Mark:6:19 @Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;

nasb@Mark:6:20 @for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him.

nasb@Mark:6:21 @A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;

nasb@Mark:6:22 @and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you."

nasb@Mark:6:23 @And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you; up to half of my kingdom."

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

nasb@Mark:6:25 @Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

nasb@Mark:6:26 @And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.

nasb@Mark:6:27 @Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded in the prison,

nasb@Mark:6:28 @and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

nasb@Mark:6:29 @When his disciples heard about this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.
