Matthew 14:8-11 ▼

8 Prompted by her mother, she answered, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.”

9 Although the king regretted it, he commanded that it be granted because of his oaths and his guests.

10 So he sent orders and had John beheaded in the prison.

11 His head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother.
