Matthew 14:1-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus,
2
and said to his servants, 'This is John the Baptist; he himself has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.'
3
For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
4
For John had been saying to him, 'It is not lawful for you to have her.'
5
Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.
6
But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before
them
and pleased Herod,
7
so
much
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8
And after being prompted by her mother, she *said, 'Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.'
9
And although he was grieved, the king commanded
it
to be given because of his oaths and his dinner guests.
10
He sent
word
and had John beheaded in the prison.
King James Version
Chapter 14
1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
2
And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
3
For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
4
For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
5
And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
6
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
7
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8
And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
9
And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
10
And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Chapter 14
1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus.
2
"This is John the Baptist," he told his servants. "He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why miraculous powers are at work in him."
3
For Herod had arrested John, chained him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4
since John had been telling him, "It’s not lawful for you to have her."
5
Though Herod wanted to kill John, he feared the crowd since they regarded John as a prophet.
6
When Herod’s birthday celebration came, Herodias’s daughter danced before them and pleased Herod.
7
So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8
Prompted by her mother, she answered, "Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter."
9
Although the king regretted it, he commanded that it be granted because of his oaths and his guests.
10
So he sent orders and had John beheaded in the prison.
New Living Translation
Chapter 14
1
When Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, heard about Jesus,
2
he said to his advisers, 'This must be John the Baptist raised from the dead! That is why he can do such miracles.'
3
For Herod had arrested and imprisoned John as a favor to his wife Herodias (the former wife of Herod’s brother Philip).
4
John had been telling Herod, 'It is against God’s law for you to marry her.'
5
Herod wanted to kill John, but he was afraid of a riot, because all the people believed John was a prophet.
6
But at a birthday party for Herod, Herodias’s daughter performed a dance that greatly pleased him,
7
so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted.
8
At her mother’s urging, the girl said, 'I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!'
9
Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders.
10
So John was beheaded in the prison,
