3 Porque Herodes había prendido á Juan, y le había aprisionado y puesto en la cárcel, por causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano;
4 Porque Juan le decía: No te es lícito tenerla.
5 Y quería matarle, mas temía al pueblo; porque le tenían como á profeta.
6 Mas celebrándose el día del nacimiento de Herodes, la hija de Herodías danzó en medio, y agradó á Herodes.
7 Y prometió él con juramento de darle todo lo que pidiese.
