7 So that he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John the Baptist's head on a platter.
9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them who sat with him to eat, he commanded it to be given her.
10 And he sent, and 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 his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed from there by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
