27 And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,

28 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 menina, e a menina a deu à sua mãe.
