Mark 6:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ Then she left the room and said to her mother, What shall I ask for [myself]? And she replied, The head of John the Baptist!

²⁵ And she rushed back instantly to the king and requested, saying, I wish you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.

²⁶ And the king was deeply pained and grieved and exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to slight her [by breaking faith with her].
