Matthew 14:7-11 ▼

7 so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted.

8 At her mother’s urging, the girl said, “I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray!”

9 Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders.

10 So John was beheaded in the prison,

11 and his head was brought on a tray and given to the girl, who took it to her mother.
