Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, c.1723 For Herod had sent and seized John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodi-as, his brother Philip’s wife; because he had married her. For John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” And Herodi-as had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly. But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and the leading men of Galilee. For when Herodi-as’ daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will grant it.” And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.” And she went out, and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the baptizer.” And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

MUČENIŠTVO SV. IVANA KRSTITELJA »Herod je bio zapovjedio da uhvate Ivana i da ga, svezana u lance, bace u tamnicu, zbog Herodijade, žene svoga brata Filipa, koju bijaše uzeo za ženu, jer mu je Ivan govorio: ’Nije ti dopušteno imati ženu svoga brata.’ Zato ga je Herodijada zamrzila i htjela ubiti, ali nije mogla. A Herod se bojao Ivana. Znao je da je pravedan i Bogu posvećen čovjek i zato ga je štitio. Kad bi ga slušao, odmah bi se zbunio, ali bi ga ipak rado slušao. No, dođe zgodan dan, kad Herod o svom rođendanu priredi gozbu svojim velikašima, visokim časnicima i galilejskim prvacima. Uđe Herodijadina kći te je tako plesala da se svidjela Herodu i gostima. Kralj reče djevojci: ’Išti od mene što god hoćeš, i dat ću ti.’ I zakle joj se: ’Dat ću ti što god zatražiš od mene, pa bilo to i pol moga kraljevstva.’ Ona iziđe te reče svojoj majci: ’Što ću tražiti?’ – ’Glavu Ivana Krstitelja,’ odgovori ona. Vrati se odmah žurno kralju i zatraži: ’Hoću da mi odmah daš na pladnju glavu Ivana Krstitelja.’ To ražalosti kralja, ali zbog zakletve dane pred gostima ne htjede je odbiti. Kralj odmah pošalje krvnika i naredi mu da donese Ivanovu glavu. Ovaj ode, odrubi mu glavu u tamnici, donese je na pladnju i dade je djevojci, a djevojka svojoj majci. Kad to čuše Ivanovi učenici, dođoše i uzeše njegovo tijelo te ga položiše u grob« (Mk 6,17–29).
