Matthew 14:7-11 ▼

7 Thereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked.

8 And having been prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

9 And although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths, and because of his dinner guests.

10 And he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

11 And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl; and she brought it to her mother.
