Mark 6:20-22

Worldwide English (New Testament)

²⁰ So Herodias hated John. She wanted to kill him. But she could not because Herod liked John. He knew that John did what was right and was a good man. So he kept John safe. When he heard John speak he was troubled in his heart, and yet he was glad to hear him.

²¹ rod made a feast on his birthday. He called all his rulers and the captains and the leaders of Galilee to come to the feast.

²² The daughter of Herodias came in and danced for them. This pleased Herod and the people at the feast. Then the king said to the girl, `Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you.'
