Living Bible

^22-23 Then Herodias’s daughter came in and danced before them and greatly pleased them all.

²⁴ She went out and consulted her mother, who told her, “Ask for John the Baptist’s head!”

²⁵ So she hurried back to the king and told him, “I want the head of John the Baptist—right now—on a tray!”
