For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.

and immediately dispatched a sentinel with orders to bring the Immerser's head. Accordingly he went, and beheaded him in the prison, 
and brought his hand in a basin, and presented it to the young woman; and the young woman presented it to her mother.
