Matthew 14:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ Although Herod wanted to put him to death, he feared the crowd, because they regarded ^[a]John as ^(A)a prophet.

⁶ But when Herod’s birthday came, the daughter of ^(B)Herodias danced ^[b]before them and pleased ^(C)Herod, ⁷ so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
