John’s followers came and got his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus what happened.
And the men brought John’s head on a plate and gave it to the girl. Then she took the head to her mother, Herodias.
When Jesus heard what happened to John, he left in a boat. He went alone to a place where no one lived. But the people heard that Jesus had left. So they left their towns and followed him. They went by land to the same place he went.
John’s followers heard about what happened, so they came and got John’s body and put it in a tomb.
