And all the country of Judea and the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him, and were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, con fessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a girdle of leather around his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey: and he preached, saying: There comes after me One mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. I immerse you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace.
and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet? John answered them, saying: I immerse in water; but there stands one among you whom you know not. He it is, who, though he comes after me, is now before me; the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose. These things were done in Beth any, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.
And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God.

John » Testifies to the messiahship of jesus
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who is now before me, for he existed before me. And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water. And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit. And I saw, and do testify that this is the Son of God. Again the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples. And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said: Be hold the Lamb of God.
And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him. John answered and said: A man can receive nothing unless it be given to him from heaven. You yourselves will testify for me, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that has the bride, is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly on account of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, is therefore complete. He must increase, but I must decrease. He that comes from above, is over all. He that is from the earth, is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. He that comes from heaven, is over all; and what he has seen and heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. He that has received his testimony has solemnly declared that God is true. For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He that believes on the Son has eternal life. But he that believes not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

John » Reproves herod antipas on account of his incest; herod imprisons him, and beheads him
For John said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her. And he intended to put him to death, but feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet. But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. Wherefore he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she would ask. And being previously instigated by her mother, she said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Immerser? And the king was grieved: but on account of his oath, and those who reclined at table with him, he commanded it to be given. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the maiden: and she carried it to her mother. And his disciples came and took away the body, and buried it; and went and told Jesus.
And Herodias was angry with him, and desired to have him killed, and was not able; for Herod feared John, because he knew him to be a just and holy man; and he kept him in safety. And having heard him, he did many things, and heard him with pleasure. And a suitable day having come, when Herod, on his birth day, made a supper for his great men, and his chief officers, and the first men of Galilee; and the daughter of this Herodias having come in, and danced, and pleased Herod and his guests, the king said to the maiden: Ask me what you will, and I will give it to you. And he swore to her: What ever you ask, I will give you, to the half of my kingdom. But she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask? She replied: The head of John the Immerser. And she came in immediately, with haste, to the king, and made her request, saying: I desire that you give me, at once, in a dish, the head of John the Immerser. And the king was very sad; yet, on account of his oath and his guests, he would not reject her. And the king immediately sent one of his guards, and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish, and gave it to the maiden; and the maiden gave it to her mother. And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body, and laid it in a tomb.

For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily, I say to you, Among those born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Immerser till now, the kingdom of heaven is taken by violence, and men of violence seize upon it eagerly. For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John; and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah that was to come. He that has ears to hear, let him hear. But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions, and saying: "We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have wailed for you, and you have not lamented. For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a demon. The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. Yet wisdom is vindicated by her children.
This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way be fore thee. For I say to you, Among those born of women, there is no prophet greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And all the people, and the publicans that heard him, vindicated God, by being immersed with the immersion of John; but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him. To what, then, shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like children sitting in the market-place, who call to one another, and say, We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have sung mournful songs for you, and you have not lamented. For John the Immerser came, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon.

And in that very hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and bestowed sight on many that were blind. And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what 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, the poor have the gospel preached to them; and blessed is he who shall find no cause of offense in me.

And Zachariah said to the angel: By what sign shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife is advanced in years. And the angel answered and said to him: I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God; and I am sent to speak to you, and to announce to you this good news.

And he took him by his right hand and raised him up: and immediately his feet and ankles received strength. And leaping up, he stood and walked, and went with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God; and they recognized him, that it was he that had sat for charity at the Beautiful gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. And while he was holding to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon s, greatly astonished.
John » The apostle » Imprisoned by the rulers of the jews
But many of those who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand. And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes, and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest, met together in Jerusalem. And when they had made them stand in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name have you done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, if we are this day examined with respect unto the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he has been saved, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand before you in health. This is the stone that was rejected with contempt by you builders, which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no other; nor, indeed, is there another name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved. Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and plain men, they were astonished; and they also recognized them, that they had been with Jesus; and, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply. But, having commanded them to go aside out of the Sanhedrin, they consulted with one another, saying: What shall we do with these men? For that an evident sign has been done by them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we can not deny it. But that it may spread no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, so that they speak no more to any man in this name. And they called them in, and commanded them to speak no more at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus. Bat Peter and John answering them, said: Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge you.
