"The head of John the Baptizer," she replied. ²⁵ The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. "My desire is," she said, "that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist." ²⁶ Then the King, though intensely sorry, yet for the sake of his oaths, and of his guests, would not break faith with her.
