John the Baptist's disciples hear of his death and lie him in a tomb.
Herod's Daughter's Wish
John the Baptist is put to Death
She goes to her mother and asks what she should wish for. Her mother says to wish for John the Baptist's head.
Wish for John the Baptist's head. I command you to wish for John the Baptist's head!
Father told me he would fulfill any wish of mine. What should I ask for mom?
She goes to her father and wishes for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Herod didn't want to kill John, but he vowed to fulfill her wish, so he had to.
Um... Whatever you wish daughter... Executioner, please go and behead John the Baptist in the jail.
Okay, Dad. I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
John the Baptist is beheaded. His head is presented on a platter to Herod's daughter.
