Matthew 14:8

English Majority Text Version

So she, being urged on by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

See the chapter Copy

And his head was brought on a platter and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.

And the king was grieved, but because of the oaths, and because of those who reclined to eat with him, he commanded it to be given.

And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"

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."

and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
