Matthew 14:8-11

8And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

9And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he commanded it to be given;

10and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

11And his head was brought on a platter, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
