Mark 6:27-31

Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison,

and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

When his disciples heard about this, they came and carried away his body, and laid it in a tomb.

The apostles *gathered together with Jesus; and they reported to Him all that they had done and taught.

And He *said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while.” (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)
