And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"
So she, being urged on by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
In those days John the Baptist arrived preaching in the wilderness of Judea,
He also swore to her, "Whatever you may ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
Immediately she came in with haste to the king and she requested, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
