Gospel Matthew 14:1-12
1In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
2And he said to his servants: “This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why miracles are at work in him.”
3For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.
4For John was telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.
6Then, on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.
7And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.
8But, having been advised by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”
9And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given.
10And he sent and beheaded John in prison.
11And his head was brought on a platter, and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
