And she pleased Herod. ⁷ Hence, he declared with an oath to give her whatever she asked. ⁸ And the one, having been prompted^[g] by her mother, says, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist”. ⁹ And [although] having been grieved, the king ordered that it be given, because of the oaths and the ones reclining-back-with him [to eat]. ¹⁰ And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison. ¹¹ And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. ¹² And having come to him, his disciples took away the corpse and buried him.
