23 He swore an oath to her: |I'll give you anything you ask for, up to half of my kingdom.| 24 So she went out and asked her mother, |What should I ask for?| Her mother said, |Ask for the head of John the Baptizer.| 25 So the girl hurried back to the king with her request. She said, |I want you to give me the head of John the Baptizer on a platter at once.| 26 The king deeply regretted his promise. But because of his oath and his guests, he didn't want to refuse her.
