Mark 6:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ So she went forth and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “John Baptist’s head.”

²⁵ Then she quickly returned to the King and asked, saying, “I would that you should give me, even now, on a platter, the head of John Baptist.”

²⁶ Then the King was very sorry. Yet for his oath’s sake and for their sakes of those who sat at table with him, he would not refuse her.
