Mark 6:28 In-Context

26 The king deeply regretted his promise. But because of his oath and his guests, he didn't want to refuse her.

27 Immediately, the king sent a guard and ordered him to bring John's head. The guard cut off John's head in prison.

28 Then he brought the head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

29 When John's disciples heard about this, they came for his body and laid it in a tomb.

30 The apostles gathered around Jesus. They reported to him everything they had done and taught.
