SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:1–12: The story about how John the Baptist died

In this section, Matthew wrote how John the Baptist was killed. This section can be difficult to translate because the events are not in chronological order.

Verses 1–2 refer to events that happened after John the Baptist died. But verses 3–12 refer back to events that had happened before John the Baptist died, and they include the story of his death. You will need to clearly indicate the change in time at 14:3.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Death of John the Baptist (GNT)

John the Baptist Beheaded (NASB)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:14–29 and Luke 9:7–9.

14:7a

so much that he promised with an oath

and so he promised and vowed
That is why he promised, “I vow/swear

so much that: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as so much that introduces a result. The dance pleased Herod. As a result, he made an oath. This conjunction also means “so” or “therefore.”

Here are some other ways to translate this conjunction:

So (NCV)

For that reason

That is why

he promised with an oath: The phrase promised with an oath refers to the strongest possible type of promise. It is the type of promise made in front of witnesses. Making an oath often involves the person asking God (or a god) to punish him if he does not keep his promise.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

he promised and he vowed

he made a vow

In some languages, it will be natural to translate part of this clause as direct speech. For example:

he made a promise saying, “I vow that

he promised her, “I swear that (GNT)

14:7b

to give to her whatever she asked.

that whatever she asked for, he would give it to her.
that I will give to you whatever you ask me.”

to give to her whatever she asked: In some languages, it will be more natural to translate this phrase as direct speech. For example:

“…I will give you anything you ask for!” (GNT)

“Whatever you ask me, I will give it to you.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅθεν

whence

Here, the phrase because of which introduces what Herod did because Herodias’ daughter pleased him with her dancing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that makes this connection more explicit. Alternate translation: [and because she pleased Herod,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

μεθ’ ὅρκου, ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὃ ἐὰν αἰτήσηται

with ˓an˒_oath ˱he˲_promised ˱to˲_her ˓to˒_give (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὅθεν μεθʼ ὅρκου ὡμολόγησεν αὐτῇ δοῦναι ὅ ἐάν αἰτήσηται)

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: [he promised with an oath, “I will give you whatever you ask.”]
