Baptist

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea

Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subject to violence, and the violent lay claim to it.

…and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them about John the Baptist.

John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

Now King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known, and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead! That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Then she went out and asked her mother, “What should I request?” And her mother answered, “The head of John the Baptist.”

At once the girl hurried back to the king with her request: “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”

When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are You the One who was to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”
