6:14-29 The account of John the Baptist’s death, sandwiched between the sending out and the return of the disciples, continues the theme of Jesus’ authority and power (see 6:7, 14). John’s fate and the warning given to the disciples in their missionary charge (6:11) also foreshadowed Jesus’ death. The one greater even than John (1:8) would soon be handed over to religious and political leaders and put to death (8:31; 9:31; 10:33).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events
ἀποστείλας & σπεκουλάτορα, ἐπέταξεν ἐνέγκαι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ
/having/_sent_out & /an/_executioner commanded /to/_bring the head ˱of˲_him
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause describes what the king commanded before he sent the executioner. Alternate translation: “having commanded an executioner to bring his head, sent him off”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
σπεκουλάτορα
/an/_executioner
An executioner is a soldier who executes people for his commander. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of soldier, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “one of his soldiers”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐνέγκαι τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ
/to/_bring the head ˱of˲_him
Here Mark implies that Herod commanded the executioner to cut off John’s head and then bring it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to behead John Baptist and then to bring his head” or “to bring the head of John the Baptist severed from his body”
