14 And King Herod heard, - for, famous, had become his name; and he was saying - John the Immerser hath arisen from among the dead, and, for this cause, are the powers working mightily in him; 15 But, others, were saying - It is Elijah, and, others were saying - A prophet, like one of the prophets! 16 But, when Herod heard, he was saying - He whom I beheaded - John, the same, hath been raised. 17 For, Herod himself, had sent and secured John and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, - for, her, had he married, 18 For John had been saying to Herod - It is not allowed thee, to have, the wife of thy brother. 19 And, Herodias, was cherishing a grudge against him, and wishing, to slay him, - and could not; 20 for, Herod, stood in fear of John, knowing him to be a man righteous and holy, - and was keeping him safe; and, when he heard him, he paid earnest heed, and, with pleasure, used to listen to him. 21 And, an opportune day arriving, when Herod on his birthday made a feast for his nobles, and for the rulers of thousands and for the first men of Galilee, 22 when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel - Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee; 23 and he took an oath to her - Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom.
