Mark 6:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ With many vows he said to her, “I swear that I will give you anything you ask for, even as much as half my kingdom!”

²⁴ So the girl went out and asked her mother, “What shall I ask for?”

“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.

²⁵ The girl hurried back at once to the king and demanded, “I want you to give me here and now the head of John the Baptist on a plate!”
