Markus 6,27
25 Straks skyndte hun seg til kongen og ba: "Jeg vil at du skal gi meg hodet til døperen Johannes på et fat med en gang."
26 Kongen ble dypt bedrøvet, men på grunn av sine eder og sine gjester, ville han ikke nekte henne.
Så han sendte straks en bøddel med ordre om å bringe Johannes' hode. Han gikk og halshugget Johannes i fengselet,
28 og brakte hodet hans på et fat, presenterte det for jenta, og hun ga det til sin mor.
29 Da Johannes' disipler hørte om dette, kom de og tok kroppen hans og la den i en grav.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
