14 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and they were healed.
15 And King Herod heard of Jesus; for his name was spread abroad; and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore, mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
16 Others said, That it is Elias; and others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
17 But when Herod heard of him, he said, It is John whom I beheaded; he is risen from the dead.
18 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.
19 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
20 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not.
21 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man, and a holy man, and one who feared God and observed to worship him; and when he heard him he did many things for him, and heard him gladly.
22 But when Herod's birth-day was come, he made a supper for his lords, high captains, and the chief priests of Galilee.
23 And when the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
24 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
