Mark 6:21 BBE

¹⁹  And Herodias was bitter against him, desiring to put him to death; but she was not able;

²⁰  For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

²¹  And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

²²  And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

²³  And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.
