1. At that time Herodes the district ruler heard the report about יהושע,
2. and said to his servants, “This is Yoḥanan the Immerser. He has risen from the dead, and that is why these mighty powers are at work in him.”
3. For Herodes had arrested Yoḥanan, bound him and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife,
4. for Yoḥanan had said to him, “It is not right for you to have her.”
5. And wishing to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they held him as a prophet.
6. But as Herodes’ birthday was being held, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herodes,
7. so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
8. And she, being urged on by her mother, said, “Give me here the head of Yoḥanan the Immerser on a dish.”
