Matthew 14:8 Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

In a public moment of unbelievable vengeance, a mother and daughter call for the death of John the Baptist, and they get their amazing wish, right there in front of a large party. For that truly awful request, we remember them all these centuries later. It could not possible have given them any measure of contentment, peace, joy, or hope as time went on.
