'Head' in the Bible

By itself the soil produces a crop, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.

So she went out and said to her mother, "What should I ask for?" Her mother said, "The head of John the baptizer."

Immediately she hurried back to the king and made her request: "I want the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately."

So the king sent an executioner at once to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded John in prison.

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

So he sent another slave to them again. This one they struck on the head and treated outrageously.

Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of costly aromatic oil from pure nard. After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head.

Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Then they knelt down and paid homage to him.
