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

Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.

But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head.

For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?

And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”

He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;

and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire;

A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one like a son of man, having a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.

His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.
