21 And a suitable day having come, when Herod, on his birth day, made a supper for his great men, and his chief officers, and the first men of Galilee; 22 and the daughter of this Herodias having come in, and danced, and pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the maiden: Ask me what you will, and I will give it to you. 23 And he swore to her: What ever you ask, I will give you, to the half of my kingdom. 24 But she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask? She replied: The head of John the Immerser. 25 And she came in immediately, with haste, to the king, and made her request, saying: I desire that you give me, at once, in a dish, the head of John the Immerser. 26 And the king was very sad; yet, on account of his oath and his guests, he would not reject her.
