Mark 6:24-29

²⁴And she wet forth and sayde to her mother: what shall I axe? And she sayde: Iohn Baptistes heed.

²⁵And she cam in streygth waye with haste vnto the kynge and axed sayinge: I will that thou geve me by and by in a charger the heed of Iohn Baptist.

²⁶And the kynge was sory: howbe it for his othes sake and for their sakes which sate at supper also he wolde not put her besyde her purpose.

²⁷And immediatly the kynge sent the hangma and commaunded his heed to be brought in. And he went and beheeded him in the preson,

²⁸and brought his heed in a charger and gave it to the mayden and the mayden gave it to her mother.

²⁹And when his disciples hearde of it they came and toke vp his body and put it in a toumbe.
