And being previously instigated by her mother, she said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Immerser?

And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the maiden: and she carried it to her mother.

He answered and said: He that dips his hand with me in the dish, will deliver me up.

And she came in immediately, with haste, to the king, and made her request, saying: I desire that you give me, at once, in a dish, the head of John the Immerser.

And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the maiden; and the maiden gave it to her mother.

He answered and said to them: It is one of the twelve, he that dips with me into the dish.
