Mark 6:21 in Context — Mark 6

19 Hérodias était irritée contre Jean, et voulait le faire mourir.

20 Mais elle ne le pouvait; car Hérode craignait Jean, le connaissant pour un homme juste et saint; il le protégeait, et, après l’avoir entendu, il était souvent perplexe, et l’écoutait avec plaisir.

22 La fille d’Hérodias entra dans la salle; elle dansa, et plut à Hérode et à ses convives. Le roi dit à la jeune fille: Demande-moi ce que tu voudras, et je te le donnerai.
