"The one I had beheaded, Jean, here he is resuscitated!" " 

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark (6, 14-29) 

At that time, as the name of Jesus was becoming famous, King Herod heard about it. It was said: "It is John who baptized: he rose from the dead, and that is why miracles are performed through him." Some said, "This is the prophet Elijah. Others still said: "He is a prophet like those of old. "Herod heard these words and said:" The one whom I had beheaded, John, here he is risen! Because it was he, Herod, who had given the order to arrest John and chain him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, whom he himself had taken for wife. Indeed, John said to him: “You do not have the right to take your brother's wife. Herodias had a grudge against Jean, therefore, and she was trying to kill him. But she could not do it because Herod was afraid of John: he knew that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him; when he heard it he was very embarrassed; however he listened to her with pleasure. Now a favorable occasion arose when, on his birthday, Herod made a dinner for his dignitaries, for the chiefs of the army and for the notables of Galilee. Herodias daughter entered and danced. It pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me what you want, and I will give it to you." And he made him this oath: "Whatever you ask of me, I will give it to you, even if it is half of my kingdom." She then went out to say to her mother, "What am I going to ask?" Herodias replied, "The head of John, the one who baptizes." "Immediately the young girl hastened to return to the king, and asked him this request:" I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist right away. The king was greatly annoyed; but because of the oath and the guests, he did not want to refuse it. He immediately sent a guard with the order to bring John's head. The guard went to behead John in the prison. He brought the head on a platter, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. The guard went to behead John in the prison. He brought the head on a platter, gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. The guard went to behead John in the prison.
