Matthew 14:8-11 ▼

8 And she, having been instigated by her mother, says, “Give me here on a plate the head of John the Immerser”;

9 and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of those dining with him, he commanded [it] to be given;

10 and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison,

11 and his head was brought on a plate, and was given to the girl, and she brought [it] near to her mother.
