New Matthew Bible
19 So Herodias was laying in wait for him, and would have killed him. But she could not, 20 because Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and gave him reverence. And he heeded him in many things, and heard him gladly.
21 But when an opportune day came, Herod on his birthday put on a supper for the lords, captains, and chief personages of Galilee.

New International Version
19 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, 20 because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man.(A) When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled[a]; yet he liked to listen to him.
21 Finally the opportune time came. On his birthday Herod gave a banquet(B) for his high officials and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.(C)
