NASB
"A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;"
— Mark 6:21, NASB
“And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;”
“And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee; ”
“Then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.”
“But a suitable day came, when Herod gave a banquet on his birthday for his court officials, military commanders, and leaders of Galilee.”
“And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee.”
“And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;”
“And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;”
For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death and could not do so;
for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him.
A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;
and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you."
And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you; up to half of my kingdom."
And she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask for?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist."
