--Matthew-- Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, (11:2) For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put [him] in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. (14:3) For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. (14:4) And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. (14:5) But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. (14:6) Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. (14:7) And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. (14:8) And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded [it] to be given [her]. (14:9) And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. (14:10) And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought [it] to her mother. (14:11) And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. (14:12) --Mark-- For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. (6:17) --Luke-- Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. (3:20) |
