What does Matthew 14:6-10 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
