Beheaded


Matthew 14:6-10 ESV
6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod, 7 so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter. ” 9 And the king was sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given. 10 He sent and had John beheaded in the prison, 

It could also be said Herod tried to cut off the head of the church, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Though slain, He was raised up. The truth cannot be buried.
