Mark 6:20-22

Amplified Bible

²⁰ because Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he continually kept him safe. When he heard John [speak], he was very perplexed; but he enjoyed listening to him. ²¹ But an opportune time [finally] came [for Herodias]. Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his officials (nobles, courtiers) and ^[a]military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. ²² Now [Salome] the daughter of Herodias came in and danced [for the men]. She pleased and beguiled Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the ^[b]girl, “Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”
