Thematic Bible



About that time John the Baptist first appeared, proclaiming in the Wilderness of Judea:


And he was followed by large crowds from Galilee, the district of the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

On one of those days, when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and Doctors of the Law were sitting near by. (They had come from all the villages in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was upon Jesus, so that he could work cures.)

When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

This was the second occasion on which Jesus gave a sign of his mission on coming from Judea to Galilee.


At the conclusion of this teaching, Jesus withdrew from Galilee, and went into that district of Judea which is on the other side of the Jordan.

But they insisted: "He is stirring up the people by his teaching all through Judea; he began with Galilee and has now come here."

On leaving that place, Jesus went into the district of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered about him again; and again, as usual, he began teaching them.


About that time John the Baptist first appeared, proclaiming in the Wilderness of Judea:

And John went through the whole district of the Jordan, proclaiming baptism upon repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.
