John did baptise in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins.

John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a beast's skin about his loins. And he did eat locusts and wild honey,

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth, a city of Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan.

And as soon as he was come out of the water, John saw the heavens open, and the holy ghost descending upon him like a dove.

After that John was taken, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, even as they were in the ship mending their nets.

And forthwith, as soon as they were come out of the Synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees did fast, and they therefore came and said unto him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?"

And he called James the son of Zebedee, and John, James' brother, and gave them Boanerges to name, which is to say, the Sons of Thunder.

And he suffered no man to follow him more than Peter, and James and John the brother of James.

And king Herod heard of him, for his name was spread abroad; And he said, "John Baptist is risen again from death, and therefore miracles are wrought by him."

But when Herod heard of him, he said, "It is John whom I beheaded, he is risen from death again."

For Herod himself had sent forth, and had taken John, and bound him and cast him into prison for Herodias' sake, which was his brother Philip's wife. For he had married her.

John said unto Herod, "It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man, and a holy, and gave him reverence; And when he heard him he did many things, and heard him gladly.

And she went forth and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "John Baptist's head."

And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, "I will, that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John Baptist."

And they answered, "Some say that thou art John Baptist: some, say Elijah, and some, one of the prophets."

And after six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up into a high mountain out of the way alone, and he was transfigured before them.

And whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me." John answered him, saying, "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, which followeth not us and we forbade him, because he followeth us not."

And then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came unto him, saying, "Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we desire."

And when the ten heard that, they began to disdain at James and John.

The baptism of John: was it from heaven, or of men? Answer me."

But if we shall say, 'Of men,' then fear we the people. For all men counted John, that he was a very prophet."

And as he sat on mount Olivet over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him secretly,

And he took with him Peter, James, and John, and he began to wax abashed and to be in an agony.
