1 At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus,
2 and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.`
3 For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip`s wife,
4 for John was saying to him, `It is not lawful to thee to have her,`
5 and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.
6 But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod,
7 whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.
