'Beheaded' in the Bible

So he sent word and had John beheaded in prison.

But when Herod heard about it, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised,"

So without delay the king sent a soldier and ordered him to bring John's head. The soldier went and beheaded him in prison.

Herod said, "I beheaded John. But who is this man I'm hearing so much about?" So Herod kept trying to see Jesus.

Then I saw thrones, and those who sat on them were given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came back to life and ruled with the Messiah for a thousand years.
