Matthew 14:5 BBE

³  For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

⁴  Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

⁵  And he would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.

⁶  But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.

⁷  So he gave her his word with an oath to let her have whatever she might make request for.
