Mark 6:23-26 ▼

23 And he swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.”

24 And she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25 Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

26 And although the king was very sorry, because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.
