27 E, enviando logo o executor, mandou que lhe trouxessem a cabeça de João. Ele foi, e o decapitou no cárcere, 28 e, trazendo a cabeça num prato, a entregou à jovem, e esta, por sua vez, a sua mãe.

27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
