But I tell you Elijah has come already, and they knew him not, but did to him what they pleased. In like manner, also, the Son of man is about to suffer from them.
And he said to them, Elijah comes first, and restores all things; as also it is written of the Son of man, That he shall suffer many things, and be set at naught; but I tell you, that Elijah has come, and they have done to him what they wished, as it was written of him.

John » Reproves herod antipas on account of his incest; herod imprisons him, and beheads him
AT that time Herod the Tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, and said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is raised from the dead; and on that account the mighty works are performed by him. For Herod having seized John, had bound him, and put him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. read more.
For John had said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her. And he wished to kill him; but feared the people, because they regarded him as a prophet. And Herod's birthday being kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod, on account of which he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask; and she, having been put forward by her mother, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist. And the king was sorry; but on account of the oath, and those reclining with him, he commanded it to be given. And he sent and beheaded John in the prison; and his head was brought on a plate and given to the girl, and she carried it to her mother. And his disciples went and took up the body and buried it, and came and told Jesus.

And on a convenient day, when Herod made a supper in honor of his birthday, for his great men, and the chiliarchs, and the first men of Galilee, the daughter of this Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod, and those that reclined with him. And the king said to the girl, Ask me what you will and I will give it to you; and he swore to her, Whatever you shall ask of me I will give you, to half of my kingdom. And she went out and said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. And coming in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I wish you to give me immediately on a plate the head of John the Baptist. And the king was extremely sorry, but on account of the oaths, and those reclining with him, he was not willing to refuse her. And the king immediately sending an executioner, commanded him to bring his head. And he went out and beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head on a plate, and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother. And his disciples hearing of it, came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.
