From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptizer. He is risen from the dead. That is why these powers work in him.”

For Herod had arrested John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife.

For John said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”

They said, “Some say John the Baptizer, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.

John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,

John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”

John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t fast?”

King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”

But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.

For John said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.

She went out, and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”

She came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”

They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets.”

Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me.”

If we should say, ‘From men’ ”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

They answered, “ ‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

But the angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zacharias, because your request has been heard. Your wife, Elizabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

His mother answered, “Not so; but he will be called John.”

He asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all marveled.

in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

As the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he was the Christ,

John answered them all, “I indeed baptize you with water, but he comes who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire,

added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

The disciples of John told him about all these things.

The disciples of John told him about all these things.

When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’ ”
