Mark 6:19-21
International Standard Version
19 So Herodias bore a grudge against John[a] and wanted to kill him. But she couldn’t do it 20 because Herod was afraid of John. He knew that John[b] was a righteous and holy man, and so he protected him. Whenever he listened to John,[c] he did much of what he said.[d] In fact, he liked listening to him.
21 An opportunity came during Herod’s birthday celebration, when he gave a banquet for his top officials, military officers, and the most important people of Galilee.
