John

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

And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came in Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to fast. And they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast?

And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.

Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again from the dead.

For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.

For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly.

Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? But her mother said: The head of John the Baptist.

And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.

Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.

But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard: and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son. And thou shalt call his name John.

And his mother answering, said: Not so. But he shall be called John.

And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.

Under the high priests Anna and Caiphas: the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.

And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ:

John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water: but there shall come one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire;

He added this also above all and shut up John in prison.

And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and the disciples of the Pharisees in like manner; but thine eat and drink?

And John's disciples told him of all these things.

And John called to him two of his disciples and sent them to Jesus, saying: Art thou he that art to come? Or look we for another?

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

And answering, he said to them: Go and relate to John what you have heard and seen: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, to the poor the gospel is preached.
