Mark 6:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ And the king was deeply pained and grieved and exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests, he did not want to slight her [by breaking faith with her].

²⁷ And immediately the king sent off one [of the soldiers] of his bodyguard and gave him orders to bring [John’s] head. He went and beheaded him in the prison

²⁸ And brought his head on a platter and handed it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
