Quick Thought:

"Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High. Call upon Me in
the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." Psalm 50:14-15
(NKJ)

Matthew 14:1-13
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus, and said to his servants,
"This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead; and that is why miraculous
powers are at work in him."

For when Herod had John arrested, he bound him, and put him in prison on account
of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. For John had been saying to him, "It
is not lawful for you to have her." And although he wanted to put him to death,
he feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.

But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and
pleased Herod. Thereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.
And having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the
head of John the Baptist." And although he was grieved, the king commanded it to
be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests. And he sent and
had John beheaded in the prison. And his head was brought on a platter and given
to the girl; and she brought it to her mother.

And his disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported
to Jesus. Now when Jesus heard it, He withdrew from there in a boat, to a lonely
place by Himself; and when the multitudes heard of this, they followed Him on foot
from the cities. Matthew 14:1-13 (NAS)

Matthew 5:34-37
"But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of
God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for
it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you
cannot make one hair white or black. But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No,
no'; and anything beyond these is of evil." Matthew 5:34-37 (NAS)
