The Daughter of Herodias dances

Saint Mark - Chapter 6

Herod. J-J Tissot

[14] Et audivit rex Herodes ( manifestum enim factum est nomen ejus), et dicebat : Quia Joannes Baptista resurrexit a mortuis : et propterea virtutes operantur in illo.
And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

[15] Alii autem dicebant : Quia Elias est; alii vero dicebant : Quia propheta est, quasi unus ex prophetis.
And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as one of the prophets.

[16] Quo audito Herodes ait : Quem ego decollavi Joannem, hic a mortuis resurrexit.
Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.

[17] Ipse enim Herodes misit, ac tenuit Joannem, et vinxit eum in carcere propter Herodiadem uxorem Philippi fratris sui, quia duxerat eam.
For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

[18] For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Dicebat enim Joannes Herodi : Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui.

The Daughter of Herodias dancing. J-J Tissot

[19] Herodias autem insidiabatur illi : et volebat occidere eum, nec poterat.
Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death, and could not.

[20] Herodes enim metuebat Joannem, sciens eum virum justum et sanctum : et custodiebat eum, et audito eo multa faciebat, et libenter eum audiebat.
For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.

[21] Et cum dies opportunus accidisset, Herodes natalis sui coenam fecit principibus, et tribunis, et primis Galilaeae :
And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.

[22] cumque introisset filia ipsius Herodiadis, et saltasset, et placuisset Herodi, simulque recumbentibus, rex ait puellae : Pete a me quod vis, et dabo tibi :
And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

[23] et juravit illi : Quia quidquid petieris dabo tibi, licet dimidium regni mei.
And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
