Mark 6:25-28

Living_Oracles(i) 25 Her daughter then, returning hastily to the king, made this request: I would that you give me presently in a basin, the head of John the Immerser. 26 And the king was much grieved; however, from a regard to his oath, and his guests, he would not refuse her, 27 and immediately dispatched a sentinel with orders to bring the Immerser's head. Accordingly he went, and beheaded him in the prison, 28 and brought his hand in a basin, and presented it to the young woman; and the young woman presented it to her mother.
