John

And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?

I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done: and he was much perplexed, because that it was said by some, that John was risen from the dead;

And Herod said, John I beheaded: but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

And they answering said, John the Baptist; but others say, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.

The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.

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

But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.

And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?

John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,

These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!

And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.

Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;

One of the two that heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

And John also was baptizing in 'non near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

For John was not yet cast into prison.

There arose therefore a questioning on the part of John’s disciples with a Jew about purifying.

And they came unto John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
