1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus; 2 and he said to his servants: This is John The Immerser; he has risen from the dead; and for this reason the powers of the spiritual world are active within him. 3 For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. 4 For John said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her. 5 And he intended to put him to death, but feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. 7 Wherefore he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she would ask. 8 And being previously instigated by her mother, she said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Immerser?
