马可福音 6:14～29
施洗约翰的死
14 耶稣的名声传扬出来。希律王听见了，就说：「施洗的约翰从死里复活了，所以这些异能由他里面发出来。」
15 但别人说：「是以利亚。」又有人说：「是先知，正像先知中的一位。」
16 希律听见却说：「是我所斩的约翰，他复活了。」
17 先是希律为他兄弟腓力的妻子希罗底的缘故，差人去拿住约翰，锁在监里，因为希律已经娶了那妇人。
18 约翰曾对希律说：「你娶你兄弟的妻子是不合理的。」
19 于是希罗底怀恨他，想要杀他，只是不能；
20 因为希律知道约翰是义人，是圣人，所以敬畏他，保护他，听他讲论，就多照着行，并且乐意听他。
21 有一天，恰巧是希律的生日，希律摆设筵席，请了大臣和千夫长，并加利利作首领的。
22 希罗底的女儿进来跳舞，使希律和同席的人都欢喜。王就对女子说：「你随意向我求什么，我必给你。」
23 又对她起誓说：「随你向我求什么，就是我国的一半，我也必给你。」
24 她就出去对她母亲说：「我可以求什么呢？」她母亲说：「施洗约翰的头。」
25 她就急忙进去见王，求他说：「我愿王立时把施洗约翰的头放在盘子里给我。」
26 王就甚忧愁；但因他所起的誓，又因同席的人，就不肯推辞，
27 随即差一个护卫兵，吩咐拿约翰的头来。护卫兵就去，在监里斩了约翰，
28 把头放在盘子里，拿来给女子，女子就给她母亲。
29 约翰的门徒听见了，就来把他的尸首领去，葬在坟墓里。
John the Baptist Beheaded
14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”
15 Others said, “He is Elijah.”
And still others claimed, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.”
16 But when Herod heard this, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”
17 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married.
18 For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to,
20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him.
21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
22 When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests.
The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.”
23 And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
24 She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”
“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.
25 At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
26 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,
28 and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.
29 On hearing of this, John’s disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
