Mark 6:25-28

25At once she hurried to the king and said, “I want you to give me John the Baptist’s head on a platter immediately.”

26Although the king was deeply distressed, because of his oaths and the guests he did not want to refuse her.

27The king immediately sent for an executioner and commanded him to bring John’s head. So he went and beheaded him in prison,

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