Exegesis

The prepositional phrase en te phylake {ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ | en tē̂ phu-la-kē̂} uses the dative to mark location, stressing that the beheading occurs within the controlled environment of the prison rather than in a public setting. The tight syntactic structure underscores the decisiveness and severity of the order carried out against John.
