The Death of John the Baptist

1 ^aAt that time ^bHerod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus, 2 and he said to his servants, ^c“This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” 3 For ^dHerod had seized John and bound him and ^eput him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts his brother’s wife} 4 because John had been saying to him, ^g“It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And though he wanted to put him to death, ^hhe feared the people, because they held him to be ⁱa prophet. 6 But when Herod’s ^jbirthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, 7 so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9 And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given. 10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison,

7 And when he learned that he belonged to ^tHerod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. 8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, ^ufor he had long desired to see him, ^vbecause he had heard about him, and he was hoping ^wto see some sign done by him. 9 So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers ^xtreated him with contempt and ^ymocked him. Then, ^zarraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.
