1 At that time Herodes the district ruler heard the report about יהושע,
2 and said to his servants, “This is Yoḥanan the Immerser. He has risen from the dead, and that is why these mighty powers are at work in him.”
3 For Herodes had arrested Yoḥanan, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4 for Yoḥanan had said to him, “It is not right for you to have her.”
5 And wishing to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him as a prophet.
6 But as Herodes’ birthday was being held, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herodes,
7 so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
