Mark 6:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²³ And he solemnly swore to her, ‘Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.’ ²⁴ She went out and said to her mother, ‘What should I ask for?’ She replied, ‘The head of John the baptizer.’ ²⁵ Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, ‘I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.’
