*
And when a convenient day was come ,
that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords ,
high captains ,
and chief estates of Galilee ;
*
And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in ,
and danced ,
and pleased Herod and them that sat with him ,
the king said unto the damsel ,
Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt ,
and I will give it thee .
*
And he sware unto her ,
Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me ,
I will give it thee ,
unto the half of my kingdom .
*
And she went forth ,
and said unto her mother ,
What shall I ask ?
And she said ,
The head of John the Baptist .
*
And she came in straightway with haste unto the king ,
and asked ,
saying ,
I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist .
*
And the king was exceeding sorry ;
yet for his oath '
s sake ,
and for their sakes which sat with him ,
he would not reject her .
*
And immediately the king sent an executioner ,
and commanded his head to be brought :
and he went and beheaded him in the prison ,
*
And brought his head in a charger ,
and gave it to the damsel :
and the damsel gave it to her mother .
*
And when his disciples heard of it ,
they came and took up his corpse ,
and laid it in a tomb .
*
And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus ,
and told him all things ,
both what they had done ,
and what they had taught .
*
And he said unto them ,
Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place ,
and rest a while :
for there were many coming and going ,
and they had no leisure so much as to eat .
*
And they departed into a desert place by ship privately .
