Marko 6:21-25
21
Mfalme Herode alifanya karamu kubwa wakati wa sikukuu ya kuzaliwa kwake. Akawaalika maafisa wake wakuu, majemadari wa jeshi na watu mashuhuri wa Galilaya. Hatimaye Herodia alipata wasaa aliokuwa akiutafuta.
22
Binti yake Herodia alipoingia na kucheza, akamfurahisha Herode pamoja na wageni wake walioalikwa chakulani. Mfalme Herode akamwambia yule binti, “Niombe kitu chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
23
Tena akamwahidi kwa kiapo, akamwambia, “Chochote utakachoomba nitakupa, hata kama ni nusu ya ufalme wangu.”
24
Yule binti akatoka nje, akaenda kumuuliza mama yake, “Niombe nini?” Mama yake akamjibu, “Omba kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji.”
25
Yule binti akarudi haraka kwa mfalme, akamwambia, “Nataka unipe sasa hivi kichwa cha Yohana Mbatizaji kwenye sinia.”
