Context
18Yohana alikuwa amemwambia Herode, “Si halali kwako kuwa na mke wa ndugu yako.” 19Kwa hiyo Herodia alikuwa amemwekea Yohana kinyongo akataka kumuua. Lakini hakuweza, 20kwa sababu Herode alimwogopa Yohana akijua kwamba ni mtu mwenye haki na mtakatifu, hivyo akamlinda. Herode alifadhaika sana alipomsikia Yohana, lakini bado alipenda kumsikiliza. 21Mfalme 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. 22Binti yake Herodia alipoingia na kucheza, akamfurahisha Herode pamoja na wageni wake walioalikwa chakulani.
Mfalme Herode akamwambia yule binti, “Niombe kitu chochote utakacho, nami nitakupa.”
