Exegesis
The final clause, kai enenken te metri autes {καὶ ἤνεγκεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς | kaí ḗnenken tē̂ mētrí autês} ‘and she carried it to her mother,’ shifts to active voice, spotlighting the girl’s agency. English supplies the pronoun ‘it’ in the active clause to clarify the object, preserving the Greek’s tight progression.
In context — Matthew 14:11
And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she carried it to her mother .
