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 Y luego el rey, enviando uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída su cabeza;

28 El cual fué, y le degolló en la cárcel, y trajó su cabeza en un plato, y la dió á la muchacha, y la muchacha la dió á su madre.
