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.
8 And she, being urged on by her mother, said, “Give me here the head of Yoḥanan the Immerser on a dish.”
9 And the sovereign was sad, but because of the oaths and the guests he commanded it to be given,
10 and sent and beheaded Yoḥanan in prison.
