2   And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
και ειπεν τοις παισιν αυτου ουτος εστιν ιωαννης ο βαπτιστης αυτος ηγερθη απο των νεκρων και δια τουτο αι δυναμεις ενεργουσιν εν αυτω

3   For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
ο γαρ ηρωδης κρατησας τον ιωαννην εδησεν αυτον και εθετο εν φυλακη δια ηρωδιαδα την γυναικα φιλιππου του αδελφου αυτου

4   For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
ελεγεν γαρ αυτω ο ιωαννης ουκ εξεστιν σοι εχειν αυτην

5   And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
και θελων αυτον αποκτειναι εφοβηθη τον οχλον οτι ως προφητην αυτον ειχον

6   But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
γενεσιων δε αγομενων του ηρωδου ωρχησατο η θυγατηρ της ηρωδιαδος εν τω μεσω και ηρεσεν τω ηρωδη

7   Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
οθεν μεθ ορκου ωμολογησεν αυτη δουναι ο εαν αιτησηται

8   And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
η δε προβιβασθεισα υπο της μητρος αυτης δος μοι φησιν ωδε επι πινακι την κεφαλην ιωαννου του βαπτιστου

9   And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
και ελυπηθη ο βασιλευς δια δε τους ορκους και τους συνανακειμενους εκελευσεν δοθηναι

10   And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
και πεμψας απεκεφαλισεν τον ιωαννην εν τη φυλακη
