20 For [1063] Herod [2264] feared [5399] John [2491], knowing [1492] that he [846] was a just [1342] man [435] and [2532] an holy [40], and [2532] observed [4933] him [846]; and [2532] when he heard [191] him [846], he did [4160] many things [4183], and [2532] heard [191] him [846] gladly [2234].

22 And [2532] when the daughter [2364] of the said [846] Herodias [2266] came in [1525], and [2532] danced [3738], and [2532] pleased [700] Herod [2264] and [2532] them that sat with him [4873], the king [935] said [2036] unto the damsel [2877], Ask [154] of me [3165] whatsoever [3739] [1437] thou wilt [2309], and [2532] I will give [1325] it thee [4671].
23 And [2532] he sware [3660] unto her [846], Whatsoever [3754] [3739] [1437] thou shalt ask [154] of me [3165], I will give [1325] it thee [4671], unto [2193] the half [2255] of my [3450] kingdom [932].

25 And [2532] she came in [1525] straightway [2112] with [3326] haste [4710] unto [4314] the king [935], and asked [154], saying [3004], I will [2309] that [2443] thou give [1325] me [3427] by and by [1824] in [1909] a charger [4094] the head [2776] of John [2491] the Baptist [910].

27 And [2532] immediately [2112] the king [935] sent [649] an executioner [4688], and commanded [2004] his [846] head [2776] to be brought [5342]: and [1161] he went [565] and beheaded [607] him [846] in [1722] the prison [5438],
28 And [2532] brought [5342] his [846] head [2776] in [1909] a charger [4094], and [2532] gave [1325] it [846] to the damsel [2877]: and [2532] the damsel [2877] gave [1325] it [846] to her [846] mother [3384].
