Markus 6,20

Herod AntipasJohn
FearIntegrity

18 For Johannes hadde sagt til Herodes: "Det er mot loven for deg å ha din brors kone."

19 Herodias bar nag til ham og ønsket å drepe ham, men hun kunne ikke,

fordi Herodes fryktet Johannes og beskyttet ham, da han visste at han var en rettferdig og hellig mann. Når Herodes lyttet til ham, ble han sterkt forvirret, men han likte å høre ham.

21 En beleilig dag kom da Herodes, på sin bursdag, holdt en bankett for sine adelsmenn, militære ledere og de ledende mennene i Galilea.

22 Da datteren til Herodias kom inn og danset, behaget hun Herodes og hans gjester. Kongen sa til jenta: "Be meg om hva du vil, så skal jeg gi det til deg."
