| 7 | so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. |
| 8 | Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter." |
| 9 | And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given; |
| 10 | he sent and had John beheaded in the prison, |
| 11 | and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. |
