Matthew 14:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.

⁸ But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.

⁹ And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
