Matthew 14:8-11

8But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

9And the king was grieved; but on account of the oaths, and those lying at table with [him], he commanded [it] to be given.

10And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;

11and his head was brought upon a dish, and was given to the damsel, and she carried [it] to her mother.
