Marcos 6:29

And when his disciples heard of it ,.... That is, when the disciples of John heard of this barbarous execution of their master,

they came ; to the prison in the castle of Machaerus,

and took up his corpse ; the trunk of his body; for his head was carried away, to glut the revenge of Herodias;

and laid it in a tomb ; See Gill on Matthew 14:12 .
