Mark 6:24-29
-
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
-
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
-
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
-
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
-
28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
-
29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
