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 希律王立刻差遣一个侍卫， 吩咐把约翰的头拿来。侍卫就去了， 在监里斩了约翰的头，

28 把头放在盘子上， 拿来交给那女孩子， 女孩子又交给她的母亲。
