NASB
"And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her."
— Mark 6:26, NASB
“And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.”
“And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her. ”
“The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he didn't wish to refuse her.”
“Although it grieved the king deeply, he did not want to reject her request because of his oath and his guests.”
“And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:”
“And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.”
“And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.”
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."
Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
And although the king was very sorry, yet because of his oaths and because of his dinner guests, he was unwilling to refuse her.
Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded 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 about this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.
