26The king was consumed with sorrow, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to refuse her.
27So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.
28The man brought John’s head on a platter and presented it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.
— Mark 6:26-28
