And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.

And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to slight her.

And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

and said to his servants, This is John the Immerser; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these works of power are at work in him.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was being done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead,

And Herod said, John I have beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things? So he sought to see Him.

On that same day certain Pharisees came, saying to Him, Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.

And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.

Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.

And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

The Ammonites also brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he became exceedingly strong.

And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. And his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.

But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.

For from you the Word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.
