KJV ¹⁴ And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

TR1550 ¹⁴ καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἡρῴδης φανερὸν γὰρ ἐγένετο τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγεν ὅτι ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐκ νεκρῶν ἠγέρθη, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐτῷ

KJV ¹⁵ Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

TR1550 ¹⁵ ἄλλοι ἔλεγον ὅτι ἠλίας ἐστίν ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον ὅτι προφήτης ἐστίν ἢ ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν

KJV ¹⁶ But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

TR1550 ¹⁶ ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ ἡρῴδης εἶπεν, ὅτι ὃν ἐγὼ ἀπεκεφάλισα ἰωάννην οὗτος ἐστιν αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη ἐκ νεκρῶν

KJV ¹⁷ For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

TR1550 ¹⁷ αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ ἡρῴδης ἀποστείλας ἐκράτησεν τὸν ἰωάννην καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ διὰ ἡρῳδιάδα τὴν γυναῖκα φιλίππου τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ὅτι αὐτὴν ἐγάμησεν

KJV ¹⁸ For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

TR1550 ¹⁸ ἔλεγεν γὰρ ὁ ἰωάννης τῷ ἡρῴδῃ ὅτι οὐκ ἔξεστίν σοι ἔχειν τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου

KJV ¹⁹ Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

TR1550 ¹⁹ ἡ δὲ ἡρῳδιὰς ἐνεῖχεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἤθελεν αὐτὸν ἀποκτεῖναι καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο

KJV ²⁰ For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

TR1550 ²⁰ ὁ γὰρ ἡρῴδης ἐφοβεῖτο τὸν ἰωάννην εἰδὼς αὐτὸν ἄνδρα δίκαιον καὶ ἅγιον καὶ συνετήρει αὐτόν καὶ ἀκούσας αὐτοῦ πολλὰ ἐποίει, καὶ ἡδέως αὐτοῦ ἤκουεν

KJV ²¹ And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;

TR1550 ²¹ καὶ γενομένης ἡμέρας εὐκαίρου ὅτε ἡρῴδης τοῖς γενεσίοις αὐτοῦ δεῖπνον ἐποίει τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς χιλιάρχοις καὶ τοῖς πρώτοις τῆς γαλιλαίας

KJV ²² And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

TR1550 ²² καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς τῆς ἡρῳδιάδος καὶ ὀρχησαμένης καὶ ἄρεσασης, τῷ ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ κορασίῳ αἴτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς καὶ δώσω σοι

KJV ²³ And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

TR1550 ²³ καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῇ ὅτι, ὅ ἐάν με αἰτήσῃς δώσω σοι ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου

KJV ²⁴ And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

TR1550 ²⁴ ἡ δὲ ἐξελθοῦσα εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς τί αἰτήσομαι ἡ δὲ εἶπεν τὴν κεφαλὴν ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίστου

KJV ²⁵ And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.

TR1550 ²⁵ καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα εὐθὲως μετὰ σπουδῆς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα ᾐτήσατο λέγουσα φέλω ἵνα μοι δῷς ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐπὶ πίνακι τὴν κεφαλὴν ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτιστοῦ

KJV ²⁶ And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

TR1550 ²⁶ καὶ περίλυπος γενόμενος ὁ βασιλεὺς διὰ τοὺς ὅρκους καὶ τοὺς συνανακειμένους οὐκ ἠθέλησεν αὐτὴν ἀθετῆσαι

KJV ²⁷ And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

TR1550 ²⁷ καὶ εὐθὲως ἀποστείλας ὁ βασιλεὺς σπεκουλάτωρα ἐπέταξεν ἐνεχθῆναι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ ἀπελθὼν ἀπεκεφάλισεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ

KJV ²⁸ And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

TR1550 ²⁸ καὶ ἤνεγκεν τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πίνακι καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ κορασίῳ καὶ τὸ κοράσιον ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς

KJV ²⁹ And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

TR1550 ²⁹ καὶ ἀκούσαντες οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἦλθον καὶ ἦραν τὸ πτῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὸ ἐν τῷ μνημείῳ
