Mark 6:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ For Herod had [^[a]a reverential] fear of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and [continually] kept him safe [^[b]under guard]. When he heard [John speak], he was much perplexed; and [yet] he heard him gladly.

²¹ But an opportune time came [for Herodias] when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and the high military commanders and chief men of Galilee.

²² For when the daughter ^[c]of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased and ^[d]fascinated Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, Ask me for whatever you desire, and I will give it to you.
