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.

27 Sem tardar, enviou um carrasco com a ordem de trazer a cabeça de João. Ele foi, decapitou João no cárcere,

28 trouxe a sua cabeça num prato e a deu à moça, e esta a entregou à sua mãe.
