Matthew 14:11

ἠνέχθῃ, not expressly said “there and then,” but all points to immediate production of the head on a platter in the banqueting hall before the guests; gruesome sight! ἐδόθη, ἤνεγκε : what a nerve the girl must have had! her mother's nature in her; the dancing and the cool acceptance of the horrible gift well matched. κορασίῳ : not to be taken strictly; a young unmarried woman, say, of twenty (Holtz., H. C.). The dancing of a mere girl would have been no entertainment to the sensual revellers. The treat lay in the indecency.
