Mark 6:26 in Context — Mark 6
24 Étant sortie, elle dit à sa mère: Que demanderai-je? Et sa mère répondit: La tête de Jean-Baptiste.
25 Elle s’empressa de rentrer aussitôt vers le roi, et lui fit cette demande: Je veux que tu me donnes à l’instant, sur un plat, la tête de Jean-Baptiste.
26 Le roi fut attristé; mais, à cause de ses serments et des convives, il ne voulut pas lui faire un refus.
27 Il envoya sur-le-champ un garde, avec ordre d’apporter la tête de Jean-Baptiste.
28 Le garde alla décapiter Jean dans la prison, et apporta la tête sur un plat. Il la donna à la jeune fille, et la jeune fille la donna à sa mère.
