6. But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod;
7. whereupon he promised with oath to give her whatsoever she should ask.
8. But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.
9. And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with him, he commanded it to be given.
10. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;
11. and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried it to her mother.
