Mark, Chapter 6, verses 26-29

²⁶The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.

²⁷So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison,

²⁸and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

²⁹On hearing of this, John's disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.
