Matthew 14:1-6

Matthew 14:1-6

[1] At  that  time  Herod  the tetrarch  heard  of the fame  of Jesus,  [2] And  said  unto his  servants,  This  John  the Baptist;  he  is risen  from  the dead;  and  therefore  mighty works  do shew forth themselves  in  him.  [3] For  Herod  had laid hold  on John,  and bound  him,  and  him in  prison  Herodias'  sake,  his  brother  Philip's  wife.  [4] For  John  unto him,  not  lawful  to have  her.  [5] And  when he would  him  to death,  he feared  the multitude,  because  they counted  him  as  a prophet.  [6] But  when Herod's  birthday  the daughter  of Herodias  danced  before them,  and  pleased  Herod.
