25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
So she at once hurried in to the king and made her request, "I want you," she said, "to give me, without delay, the head of Johnthe Baptist on a charger."

but when he saw them distressed in rowing (for the wind was against them), about the fourth watch of the night he went to them, walking upon the sea,
49 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;
they thought it was an apparition and shrieked aloud, for they all saw him and were terrified.
