New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |

|
| 14 | Now King Herod heard of it, for the fame of Jesus had spread; and people were saying, Some witnesses read: and he said ... 'John the Baptist has been raised to life, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.' | The Death of John the Baptist Mk.6.14-29 (Machaerus) | Mt.14.1-12 | Lk.9.7-9 | Καὶ ἠκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἡρῴδης, φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλεγον ὅτι Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐγήγερται ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐ τῷ. |
|
| 15 | Others said, 'It is Elijah.' Others again, 'He is a prophet like one of the old prophets.' | | ἀλλοι δὲ ἐλεγον ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐστίν· ἀλλοι δὲ ἐλεγον ὅτι προφήτης ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν. |
|
| 16 | But Herod, when he heard of it, said, 'This is John, whom I beheaded, raised from the dead.'
| | ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ Ἡρῴδης ἐλεγεν, Ὃν ἐγὼ ἀπεκεφάλισα Ἰωάννην, οὗτος ἠγέρθη. |
|
| 17 | For this same Herod had sent and arrested John and put him in prison at the instance of his brother Philip's wife, Herodias, whom he had married. | | Αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ Ἡρῴδης ἀποστείλας ἐκράτησεν τὸν Ἰωάννην καὶ ἐδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν φυλακῇ διὰ Ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα Φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν· |
|
| 18 | John had told Herod, 'You have no right to your brother's wife.' | | ἐλεγεν γὰρ ὁ Ἰωάννης τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ ὅτι Οὐκ ἐξεστίν σοι ἐχειν τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου. |
|
| 19 | Thus Herodias nursed a grudge against him and would willingly have killed him, but she could not; | | ἡ δὲ ἡρῳδιὰς ἐνεῖχεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἠθελεν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο· |
|
| 20 | for Herod went in awe of John, knowing him to be a good and holy man; so he kept him in custody. He liked to listen to him, although the listening left him greatly perplexed.
| | ὁ γὰρ Ἡρῴδης ἐφοβεῖτο τὸν Ἰωάννην, εἰδὼς αὐτὸν ἀνδρα δίκαιον καὶ ἀγιον, καὶ συνετήρει αὐτόν, καὶ ἀκούσας αὐτοῦ πολλὰ ἠπόρει, καὶ ἡδέως αὐτοῦ ἠκουεν. |
|
| 21 | Herodias found her opportunity when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his chief officials and commanders and the leading men of Galilee. | | Καὶ γενομένης ἡμέρας εὐκαίρου ὅτε Ἡρῴδης τοῖς γενεσίοις αὐτοῦ δεῖπνον ἐποίησεν τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις καὶ τοῖς πρώτοις τῆς Γαλιλαίας, |
|
| 22 | Her daughter came in Or: A festive occasion came when Herod on his birthday gave ... of Galilee. The Daughter of Herodias came in ... and danced, and so delighted Herod and his guests that the king said to the girl, 'Ask what you like and I will give it you.' | | καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος καὶ ὀρχησαμένης, ἠρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις. εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ κορασίῳ, Αἰτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς, καὶ δώσω σοι· |
|
| 23 | And he swore an oath to her: 'Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.' | | καὶ ὠμοσεν αὐτῇ πολλά, Ὅ τι ἐάν με αἰτήσῃς δώσω σοι ἑως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου. |
|
| 24 | She went out and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for?' She replied, 'The head of John the Baptist.' | | καὶ ἐξελθοῦσα εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς, Τί αἰτήσωμαὶ ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίζοντος. |
|
| 25 | The girl hastened back at once to the king with her request: 'I want you to give me here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.' | | καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα εὐθὺς μετὰ σπουδῆς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾐτήσατο λέγουσα, Θέλω ἵνα ἐξαυτῆς δῷς μοι ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ. |
|
| 26 | The king was greatly distressed, but out of regard for his oath and for his guests he could not bring himself to refuse her. | | καὶ περίλυπος γενόμενος ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὁρκους καὶ τοὺς ἀνακειμένους οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἀθετῆσαι αὐτήν· |
|
| 27 | So the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John's head. The soldier went off and beheaded him in the prison, | | καὶ εὐθὺς ἀποστείλας ὁ βασιλεὺς σπεκουλάτορα ἐπέταξεν ἐνέγκαι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ. καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἀπεκεφάλισεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ |
|
| 28 | brought the head on a dish, and gave it to the girl; and she gave it to her mother.
| | καὶ ἠνεγκεν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἐδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ κορασίῳ, καὶ τὸ κοράσιον ἐδωκεν αὐτὴν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς. |
|
| 29 | When John's disciples heard the news, they came and took his body away and laid it in a tomb.
| | καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦλθον καὶ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθηκαν αὐτὸ ἐν μνημείῳ. |
