'Beheaded' in the Bible

So he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

But when Herod heard this, he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised!"

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

Herod said, "I had John beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" So Herod wanted to learn about Jesus.

Then I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
