For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife,

King Herod heard of him, for his name was now well known, and people were saying that John the baptizer had risen from the dead, and that that was why he was endowed with these extraordinary powers.

and I remembered the saying of the Lord, 'John baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the holy Spirit.'

I am baptizing you in water in token of your repentance, but he who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not fit to carry his shoes. He will baptize you in the holy Spirit and in fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clean up his threshing-floor, and store his wheat in his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with inextinguishable fire." Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him. read more.
But John dissuaded him, and said, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

And this was his message: "After me there is coming one stronger than I am, one whose shoes I am not fit to stoop down and untie. I have baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the holy Spirit." It was in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

As all this aroused people's expectations, and they were all wondering in their hearts whether John was the Christ, John said to them all, "I am only baptizing you in water, but someone is coming who is stronger than I am, whose shoes I am not fit to untie. He will baptize you in the holy Spirit and in fire. He has his winnowing fork in his hand, to clean up his threshing-floor, and store his wheat in his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with inextinguishable fire." read more.
So with many varied exhortations he would preach the good news to the people, but Herod the governor, whom he condemned because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the wicked things Herod had done, crowned them all by putting John in prison. Now when all the people were baptized and when Jesus also after his baptism was praying, heaven opened


"John's baptism was a baptism in token of repentance," said Paul, "and he told the people to believe in him who was to follow him, that is, in Jesus." When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and when Paul laid his hands on them, the holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in foreign tongues and with prophetic inspiration.


but Herod the governor, whom he condemned because of Herodias, his brother's wife, and all the wicked things Herod had done,

"Repent!" he said, "for the Kingdom of Heaven is coming!" It was he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, when he said, "Hark! Someone is shouting in the desert, 'Get the Lord's way ready! Make his paths straight!' " John wore clothing made of hair cloth, and he had a leather belt around his waist, and he lived on dried locusts and wild honey. read more.
Then Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole Jordan valley went out to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, in acknowledgment of their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of snakes! Who warned you to escape from the wrath that is coming? Then produce fruit that will be consistent with your professed repentance! Do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our forefather,' for I tell you God can produce descendants for Abraham right out of these stones! But the axe is already lying at the roots of the trees. Any tree that fails to produce good fruit is going to be cut down and thrown into the fire. I am baptizing you in water in token of your repentance, but he who is coming after me is stronger than I am, and I am not fit to carry his shoes. He will baptize you in the holy Spirit and in fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clean up his threshing-floor, and store his wheat in his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with inextinguishable fire."

John said to Herod, "It is not right for you to be living with your brother's wife." Herodias felt bitterly toward him and wanted him killed. But she could not bring it about, for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing that he was an upright and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him talk he was very much disturbed, and yet he liked to hear him. read more.
When a holiday came and Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to his courtiers and officers and to the leading men of Galilee, Herodias' own daughter came in and danced for them. And Herod and his guests were delighted, and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you like and I will give it to you." And he made oath to her, "I will give you whatever you ask me for, up to half my kingdom." When she had left the room she said to her mother, "What shall I ask him for?" But she said, "The head of John the baptizer." And she hurried back at once to the king and asked him for it, saying, "I want you right away to give me John the Baptist's head on a platter." The king was exceedingly sorry, but on account of his oath and his guests he did not like to break his word to her, and he immediately sent one of his guard with orders to get John's head. And he went off and beheaded him in the prison and brought back his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.

So he would say to the crowds that came out there to be baptized by him, "You brood of snakes! Who warned you to fly from the wrath that is coming? Then produce fruit that will be consistent with your professed repentance! And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our forefather,' for I tell you, God can produce descendants for Abraham right out of these stones! But the axe is already lying at the roots of the trees. Any tree that fails to produce good fruit is going to be cut down and thrown into the fire."

But when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he retreated to Galilee.

At that time, Herod the governor heard the reports about Jesus, and he said to his attendants, "This man must be John the Baptist.

for John said to him, "It is not right for you to be living with her." And while he wanted him killed, he was afraid of the people; for they considered him a prophet.

But she, at her mother's instigation, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head here on a platter!" And the king was sorry, but because he had sworn to do it, and because of the guests who were present, he ordered it to be given to her. And he sent and had John beheaded in the prison.

Immorality is actually notorious among you, and immorality of a kind unknown even among the heathen??hat a man has taken his father's wife. And can you put on airs, instead of being overwhelmed with grief at having to expel from your number the man who has done this? For my part, though I have been absent from you in person, I have been present with you in spirit, and as thus present I have already passed judgment upon the man who has done this, read more.
and meeting with you, in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, by the authority of our Lord Jesus I have handed the man over to Satan, for his physical destruction, in order that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.


When one of you has a disagreement with his neighbor, does he dare to bring the matter before a heathen court, instead of laying it before his Christian brothers? Do you not know that the Christians are to be the judges of the world? And if the world is to come before you for judgment, are you unfit to decide the most trivial cases? Do you not know that we are to be the judges of angels, to say nothing of ordinary matters? read more.
If then you have ordinary matters to be settled, will you submit them for judgment to men who are nothing in the church? I ask it to shame you. Has it come to this, that there is not a single wise man among you who could settle a disagreement between one brother and another, but one Christian has to go to law with another, and before unbelievers too? Having lawsuits with one another at all means your utter failure, to begin with. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be robbed? But it is you who wrong and rob others, and your own brothers at that!

But I urge you all, brothers, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree in what you say, and not to allow factions among you, but to be perfectly united in mind and judgment. For I have been informed, my brothers, by Chloe's people, that quarrels are going on among you. What I mean is this, that one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul," another, "And I, of Apollos," another, "And I, of Cephas," and another, "And I, of Christ!" read more.
Christ has been divided up! But was it Paul who was crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of snakes! Who warned you to escape from the wrath that is coming?

But while I am on this subject, I cannot approve of your meetings, because they are doing you more harm than good. For, in the first place, when you meet as a congregation, I hear that you divide into sets, and in a measure I believe it. Doubtless there must be parties among you, if those who are right are to be recognized among you. read more.
So when you hold your meetings it is not the Lord's Supper that you eat, for each of you hurries to get his own supper and eat it, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk. Have you no houses to eat and drink in? Or do you mean to show your contempt for the church of God, and to humiliate those who have none? What can I say to you? Can I approve of you? Not in this matter certainly.
