27 Assim enviou imediatamente um carrasco com ordens para trazer a cabeça de João. O homem foi, decapitou João na prisão

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

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.
