Mark 6:28 In-Context

26 This made the king very sad, but he could not refuse her because of the vows he had made in front of all his guests.

27 So he sent off a guard at once with orders to bring John's head. The guard left, went to the prison, and cut John's head off;

28 then he brought it on a plate and gave it to the girl, who gave it to her mother.

29 When John's disciples heard about this, they came and got his body, and buried it.

30 The apostles returned and met with Jesus, and told him all they had done and taught.
