23 And he swore to her, “Anything that you request, I will give to you, even up to half my kingdom.” 24 And when she had gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I request?” But her mother said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25 And immediately, when she had entered with haste to the king, she petitioned him, saying: “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who were sitting with him at table, he was not willing to disappoint her. Mark 6:23-26, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
