And Herod the king heard of it ,
for the name of Yehoshua had become famous ,
and some were saying , "
Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva has been made to stand up alive from [
the ]
mesim ,
and for this reason the nissim (
note :)
miracles (:
note )
are at work in him ."
*
But others were saying , "
It is Eliyahu ."
And still others were saying , "
He is a navi ,
like one of the nevi '
im of old ." [
Malachi strkjv @
4:5 ]
*
But when Herod heard of it ,
he kept saying , "
Yochanan whom I beheaded has stood up alive from the mesim !"
*
For Herod himself had sent and had Yochanan arrested and bound in the beis hasohar ,
on account of Herodias ,
the wife of his brother ,
Philippos ,
for he had married her .
*
But Yochanan was saying to Herod , "
It is not mutar (
note :)
permissible (:
note )
according to the Torah for you to have your brother '
s wife ." [

And Herodias bore a grudge against Yochanan and desired to kill him .
But she could not .
*
For Herod feared Yochanan ,
knowing him [
to be ]
a tzaddik and kadosh ,
and Herod was protecting Yochanan .
And when Herod heard Yochanan ,
he was greatly disturbed ,
and [
yet ]
gladly Herod was listening to Yochanan .
*
And ,
an opportune day having come ,
when Herod ,
on his birthday ,
gave a seudah for the court of his nobles ,
and the military commanders ,
and those of chashivut (

prominence (:
note )
of the Galil , [

*
And when his daughter entered and danced ,
she pleased Herod and the ones reclining at the seudah with him .
And the king said to the the girl , "
Ask me whatever you wish and I will give [
it ]
to you ."
*
And he made an shevu '
ah (
note :)
oath (:
note )
to her solemnly , "
Whatever you ask me ,
I will give you ,
up to half of my Malchut . [

*
And having gone out ,
she said to her mother , "
What should I ask [
for ]?"
And her mother said , "
The rosh Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva ."
*
And having entered ,
ofen ort (
note :)
immediately (:
note ),
with haste before the king ,
she made a request ,
saying , "
You may give to me upon a platter the rosh Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva ."
*
And having become very sad ,
the king ,
on account of his shevu '
ah and on account of the ones reclining at the seudah [
with him ],
was unwilling to refuse her .
*
And ,
ofen ort (
note :)
immediately (:
note ),
the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring the rosh Yochanan .
And having left ,
the executioner beheaded Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva in the beit hasohar .
*
And he brought the rosh Yochanan upon a platter and gave it to the young girl ,
and the young girl gave it to her mother .
*
And ,
having heard this ,
Yochanan '
s talmidim came and carried away his geviyah and placed it in a kever .
