˱on˲_the birthday_celebrations ˱of˲_him
In some cultures, people celebrate a birthday, the day that someone was born. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of celebration, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [for his birthday celebration] or [for celebrations on the anniversary of his birth]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῖς μεγιστᾶσιν αὐτοῦ
˱on˲_the ˱to˲_the magnates ˱of˲_him
Here, the phrase his great ones refers to the important people in Herod’s court. They were probably high-ranking officials who served under Herod.

τοῖς πρώτοις
˱on˲_the ˱to˲_the ˱to˲_the ˱to˲_the leaders
Mark is using the adjective first as a noun to mean first people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [for the first people] or [for the people who were first]
6:14-29 The account of John the Baptist’s death, sandwiched between the sending out and the return of the disciples, continues the theme of Jesus’ authority and power (see 6:7, 14). John’s fate and the warning given to the disciples in their missionary charge (6:11) also foreshadowed Jesus’ death. The one greater even than John (1:8) would soon be handed over to religious and political leaders and put to death (8:31; 9:31; 10:33).
