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 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. He has risen from the dead, and that is why wonderful powers are working through him." For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, read more.
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 when Herod's birthday came, Herodias' daughter danced before the company. And Herod was delighted with her, and swore that he would give her anything she asked for. 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. And his head was brought back on a platter and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother. John's disciples came and took his body away, and buried him, and then they went and reported it to Jesus.

But when Herod heard of him he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has risen from the dead." For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her. John said to Herod, "It is not right for you to be living with your brother's wife." read more.
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. 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. When his disciples heard of it they came and took his body away and put it in a tomb.

Why, I tell you, not only has Elijah come, but people have treated him just as they pleased, as the Scripture says about him."

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.
