Mark 6:27 ASV

²⁵  And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

²⁶  And the king was exceeding sorry; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat, he would not reject her.

²⁷  And straightway the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

²⁸  and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.

²⁹  And when his disciples heard 'thereof', they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
