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 on a platter, and gave it to the girl: and the girl gave it to her mother.

27 E, enviando logo o rei o executor, mandou que lhe trouxessem ali a cabeça de João. E ele foi e degolou-o na prisão. 28 E trouxe a cabeça num prato e deu-a à jovem, e esta a deu à sua mãe.
