Matthew 14:7 DBY

⁵  And [while] desiring to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him for a prophet.

⁶  But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;

⁷  whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.

⁸  But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

⁹  And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with [him], he commanded [it] to be given.
