|
| 1 | At that time Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus; | The Death of John the Baptist Mt.14.1-12 (Machaerus) | Mk.6.14-29 | Lk.9.7-9 |
| 2 | and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him." | |
| 3 | For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; | |
| 4 | because John said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her." | |
| 5 | And though he wanted to put him to death, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet. | |
| 6 | But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company, and pleased Herod, | |
| 7 | so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. | |
| 8 | Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter." | |
| 9 | And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given; | |
| 10 | he sent and had John beheaded in the prison, | |
| 11 | and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. | |
| 12 | And his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus. | |
