John

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

And John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say unto him, Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

And king Herod heardthereof; for his name had become known: and he said, John the Baptizer is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him.

But Herod, when he heard thereof, said, John, whom I beheaded, he is risen.

For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.

For John said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.

for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was much perplexed; and he heard him gladly.

And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptizer.

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou forthwith give me on a platter the head of John the Baptist.

And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

But should we say, From men—they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.

And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.

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

And as the people were in expectation, and all men reasoned in their hearts concerning John, whether haply he were the Christ;

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but there cometh he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:

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

And they said unto him, The disciples of John fast often, and make supplications; likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.

And the disciples of John told him of all these things.

And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?

And he answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye have seen and heard; the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good tidings preached to them.
