8 And coached by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter!”
9 And although the king was distressed, because of his oaths and his dinner guests he commanded the request to be granted.
10 And he sent orders and had John beheaded 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 away the corpse and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
13 Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place by himself. And when the crowds heard it, they followed him by land from the towns.
14 And as he got out, he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them and healed their sick.
