And, I, knew him not, but, that he might be manifested unto Israel, therefore, came, I, in water, immersing. And John bare witness, saying - I have gazed upon the Spirit, descending like a dove, out of heaven, - and it abode upon him. And, I, knew him not, - but, he that sent me to immerse in water, he, unto me, said - Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding upon him, the same, is he that immerseth in Holy Spirit. I, therefore, have seen, and borne witness - That, this, is, the, Son of God.

John » Reproves herod antipas on account of his incest; herod imprisons him, and beheads him
for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her. And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him.

And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given; and sent and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.
And, Herodias, was cherishing a grudge against him, and wishing, to slay him, - and could not; for, Herod, stood in fear of John, knowing him to be a man righteous and holy, - and was keeping him safe; and, when he heard him, he paid earnest heed, and, with pleasure, used to listen to him. And, an opportune day arriving, when Herod on his birthday made a feast for his nobles, and for the rulers of thousands and for the first men of Galilee, when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel - Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee; and he took an oath to her - Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom. And, going out, she said unto her mother - What shall I ask? and she said - The head of John the Immerser; And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying - I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser. And, though the king was, very grieved, yet, by reason of the oaths, and of them who were reclining, he would not refuse her. And the king, straightway, sending off a guard, gave orders to bring his head. And, departing, he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a charger, and gave it unto the damsel - and, the damsel, gave it unto her mother. And, hearing of it, his disciples went and took away his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

This, is he, concerning whom it is written, - Lo! I, send my messenger before thy face, who shall make ready thy way before thee! Verily, I say unto you - There hath not arisen, among such as are born of women, a greater than John the Immerser, - yet, he that is less in the kingdom of the heavens, is, greater than he. But, from the days of John the Immerser, until even now, the kingdom of the heavens, is being invaded, and, invaders, are, seizing upon it. For, all the prophets and the law, until John, did prophesy; And, if ye are willing to accept it, he, is Elijah - the one destined to come. He that hath ears, let him hear! But, unto what, shall I liken this generation? It is, like, unto children, sitting the market-places, who, calling unto the others, say, We played the flute to you, and ye danced not, - we sang a lament, and ye beat not the breast. For, John, came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say - A demon, he hath! The Son of Man, came, eating and drinking, and they say, Lo! a gluttonous man and a wine-drinker! a friend of, tax-collectors, and sinners! And yet wisdom hath been justified by her works.
This, is he concerning whom it is written - Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. I say unto you - A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he. And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John; but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him. Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like? They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say - We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not. For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say - A demon, he hath:

And it came to pass, upon the morrow, that there were gathered together of them, the rulers and the elders and the scribes, in Jerusalem; Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; - And, setting them in the midst, they began to enquire - In what manner of power, or in what manner of name, did, ye, do this? Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them - Ye rulers of the people, and elders! If, we, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man, - in whom, this, man hath been made well, Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, - whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole. This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became the head of the corner; And there is in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs be saved. And, looking at Peter's boldness of speech, and John's, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus; Seeing, the man also standing, with them, even the man who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict. Howbeit, ordering them to go forth outside the high-council, they began to confer one with another, Saying - What are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, and we cannot deny it ! Nevertheless, lest it further spread abroad among the people, let us charge them with threats, to be no more speaking upon this name, to any soul of man. And, calling them, they gave them the sweeping charge, - not to be sounding aloud, nor even to be teaching, upon the name of Jesus. But, Peter and John, answering, said unto them - Whether it be right in presence of God, unto you, to be hearkening, rather than unto God, judge!
