Context of Matthew 14:10
8And after being prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” 9And although he was grieved, the king commanded it to be given because of his oaths and his dinner guests. He sent word and had John beheaded in the prison. 11And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. 12John’s disciples came and took away the body and buried it; and they went and reported to Jesus.
