Mark 6:25-28

Noyes(i) 25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, saying, I desire that thou wilt give me immediately on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 26 And the king was exceedingly sorry; but on account of his oaths, and of those at table with him, he would not refuse her. 27 And the king immediately sent one of his guards, and ordered his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
