Matthew 14:10 In-Context

8 Herodias told her daughter what to ask for, so she said to Herod, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter."
9 Although King Herod was very sad, he had made a promise, and his dinner guests had heard him. So Herod ordered that what she asked for be done.
10 He sent soldiers to the prison to cut off John's head.
11 And they brought it on a platter and gave it to the girl, and she took it to her mother.
12 John's followers came and got his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus.
