Beheading

“and sent to have John beheaded in the prison.”

“So without delay, the king commanded that John’s head be brought in. He sent an executioner, who went and beheaded him in the prison.”

“He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.”

“Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image, and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”
