And his head was brought on a platter and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

See the chapter Copy

And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison.

Then his disciples came forward and took the body and buried it, and coming, they reported it to Jesus.

So she, being urged on by her mother, said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You gave them blood to drink. They deserve it."

I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
