Image: 173 Matt XIV 33 Herods Daughter Given Johns Head all

The head of John the Baptist given to the daughter of Herodias. : For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. (Matthew 14:3-7 ) - from "Figures de la Bible" book, 1728.
