27 Mandou imediatamente um soldado da guarda trazer a cabeça de João. O soldado foi à cadeia, cortou a cabeça de João, 28 pôs num prato e deu à moça. E ela a entregou à sua mãe.

27 And right away the king sent forth a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring his head: 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.
