on the Scriptures Together
Morning:
Mark 6:14-29
[14]
King Herod heard of it, for Jesus' name had become known. Some said,
“John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these
miraculous powers are at work in him.” [15] But others said, “He
is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the
prophets of old.” [16] But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John,
whom I beheaded, has been raised.” [17] For it was Herod who had
sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of
Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he had married her. [18]
For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to
have your brother's wife.” [19] And Herodias had a grudge against
him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, [20] for Herod
feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he
kept him safe. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and yet
he heard him gladly.
[21]
But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for
his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
[22] For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased
Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for
whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.” [23] And he vowed to
her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my
kingdom.” [24] And she went out and said to her mother, “For what
should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”
[25] And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked,
saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist
on a platter.” [26] And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because
of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.
[27] And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to
bring John's head. He went and beheaded him in the prison [28] and
brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl
gave it to her mother. [29] When his disciples heard of it, they came
and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
