Mark 6:26-28
6:26 Although it grieved the king deeply, 1 he did not want to reject her request because of his oath and his guests.
6:27 So 2 the king sent an executioner at once to bring John’s 3 head, and he went and beheaded John in prison.
6:28 He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
1 tn Grk “and being deeply grieved, the king did not want.”
2 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
3 tn Grk “his”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
