Matthew 14:5 CPDV

³  For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.

⁴  For John was telling him, 'It is not lawful for you to have her.'

⁵  And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.

⁶  Then, on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.

⁷  And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.
