27 And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,
28 And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.
27 O rei, pois, enviou logo um soldado da sua guarda com ordem de trazer a cabeça de João. Então ele foi e o degolou no cárcere,
28 e trouxe a cabeça num prato e a deu à jovem, e a jovem a deu à sua mãe.
