The Beheading of John

The Beheading of John

(Matthew 14:1–12, Luke 9:7–9)

14Now King Herod heard about this, for [Jesus’] name had become well known, and [people] were saying “John the Baptist has risen from [the] dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others “[He is] a prophet, like one of the prophets [of old].”

16But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen [from the dead]!” 17For Herod himself had ordered that John be arrested and bound [and] imprisoned, on account of his brother Philip’s wife Herodias, [whom] [Herod] had married. 18For John had been telling Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife!”

19So Herodias held a grudge against [John] and wanted to kill him. But she had been unable, 20because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing [that] he [was] a righteous and holy man. When he heard [John’s words], he was greatly perplexed; yet he listened to him gladly.

21On [Herod’s] birthday, [her] opportunity arose. Herod held a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading [men] of Galilee. 22[When] the daughter of Herodias[fn] came and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests, and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give [it] to you.” 23And he swore to her “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom!”

24Then she went out [and] asked her mother, “What should I request?” And [her mother] answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25At once [the girl] hurried back to the king with her request “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

26The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of [his] oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her. 27So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went [and] beheaded him in the prison. 28[The man] brought [John’s] head on a platter and presented it to the girl, [who] gave it to her mother.

29When [John’s] disciples heard about [this], they came and took his body and placed it in [a] tomb.
