41:006:014 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 41:006:015 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 41:006:016 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. 41:006:017 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. 41:006:018 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 41:006:019 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 41:006:020 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 41:006:021 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; 41:006:022 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 41:006:023 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 41:006:024 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. 41:006:025 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. 41:006:026 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. 41:006:027 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, 41:006:028 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. 41:006:029 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. 41:006:030 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 41:006:031 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 41:006:032 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
