Mark 6:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹ But an opportune time came [for Herodias] when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and the high military commanders and chief men of Galilee.

²² For when the daughter ^[a]of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased and ^[b]fascinated Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, Ask me for whatever you desire, and I will give it to you.

²³ And he put himself under oath to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.^(A)
