6:14 The execution of Yohan-the-immerser

(Mat. 14:1-12, Luke 9:7-9)

14[ref]Yeshua was now becoming well known and King Herod Antipas heard about him. He thought that maybe Yohan-the-immerser had come back to life and that’s why he was able to do miracles.

15But others thought it was the promised return of Eliyah, and yet others thought he must be another prophet like the ones in the Scriptures.

16But hearing about Yeshua, Herod was telling people, “That Yohan who I had beheaded, he must have come back to life!” 17[ref]Because Herod himself had had Yohan arrested and put in prison because he had married Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 18Yohan had been telling him that it was wrong for him to marry his brother’s wife, 19and so Herodias resented him enough to want to kill him, but Herod hadn’t be able to 20because he respected Yohan as a righteous and holy teacher and so he kept him alive. He often enjoyed hearing from Yohan and thought a lot about what he said.

21However, an opportunity came at Herod’s birthday celebration, when he threw a feast for his top officials and generals and for the leaders in Galilee. 22The daughter of Herodias came in and danced for them, and the king and his party guests all enjoyed it. So the king said to the young woman, “Just ask me for anything and I’ll give it to you.” 23And he made an oath, “Even if you asked for half of my kingdom, I’d give it to you!”

24So she went out and asked her mother what she should ask for. Her mother told her that she should ask for Yohan’s head.

25So going back into the party, she said seriously to the king, “I would like the head of Yohan-the-immerser on a plate!”

26The king was really upset with that, but because he had made loud oaths in front of all his guests, he couldn’t say no. 27So he ordered an executioner to go out and return with Yohan’s head. He went off and beheaded him in the prison 28and brought the head into the party on a plate and gave it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. 29When Yohan’s followers heard about this, they came and fetched his body and put it into a tomb.


14And the king Haʸrōdaʸs heard, because/for the name of_him became manifest, and he_was_saying, that Yōannaʸs the one immersing has_been_raised from the_dead, and because_of this the miracles are_working in in_him.
15But others were_saying, that He_is Aʸlias/(ʼĒliyyāh), and others were_saying, that A_prophet, like one of_the prophets.
16But having_heard, the Haʸrōdaʸs was_saying, that Yōannaʸs whom I beheaded, this was_raised.
17For/Because the Haʸrōdaʸs himself, having_sent_out, apprehended the Yōannaʸs and bound him in prison because_of Haʸrōidias, the wife of_Filippos, the brother of_him, because he_married her.
18For/Because the Yōannaʸs was_saying to_ the _Haʸrōdaʸs, that It_is_ not _permitting for_you to_be_having the wife of_the brother of_you.
19And the Haʸrōidias was_resenting him, and was_wanting to_kill_ him _off, and he_was_ not _able, 20for/because the Haʸrōdaʸs was_fearing the Yōannaʸs, having_known him as_a_ righteous and holy _man, and was_preserving him, and having_heard from_him, he_was_perplexing much, and he_was_hearing gladly from_him.
21And having_become a_ opportune _day, when Haʸrōdaʸs on_the birthday_celebrations of_him made a_supper, to_the magnates of_him, and to_the commanders, and to_the leaders of_ the _Galilaia/(Gālīl).
22And of_Haʸrōidias the daughter for_him having_come_in and having_danced, she_brought_pleasure to_ the _Haʸrōdaʸs and the ones reclining.
And the king said to_the little_girl:
Ask me whatever if you_may_be_wanting and I_will_be_giving it to_you.
23And he_swore to_her, that Whatever if you_may_ask me, I_will_be_giving to_you, up_to half of_the kingdom of_me.
24And having_come_out, she_said to_the mother of_her:
What may_I_request?
And she said:
The head of_Yōannaʸs the one immersing.
25And having_come_in immediately with earnestness to the king, she_requested saying:
I_am_wanting that immediately you_may_give the head of_Yōannaʸs the immerser to_me on a_platter.
26And the king having_become very_sorrowful, because_of the oaths and the ones reclining he_ not _wanted to_reject her.
27And immediately the king having_sent_out an_executioner, commanded to_bring the head of_him.
And having_gone_away, he_beheaded him in the prison,
28and brought the head of_him on a_platter, and gave it to_the little_girl, and the little_girl gave it to_the mother of_her.
29And having_heard it, the apprentices/followers of_him came and took_up the corpse of_him, and they_laid it in a_tomb.
