'Baptist' in the Bible

About this time, John the Baptist appeared, preaching in the Judean wilderness,

I tell all of you with certainty, among those born of women no one has appeared who is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least important person in the kingdom from heaven is greater than he.

"From the days of John the Baptist until the present, the kingdom from heaven has been forcefully advancing, and violent people have been attacking it,

told his servants, "This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and that's why these miracles are being done by him."

Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me, right here on a platter, the head of John the Baptist."

They said, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Then the disciples understood that he had been speaking to them about John the Baptist.

King Herod heard about this, because Jesus' name had become well-known. He was saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That's why he is able to do these miracles."

So she went out and asked her mother, "What should I ask for?" Her mother replied, "The head of John the Baptist."

Immediately the girl hurried back to the king with her request, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

They answered him, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the prophets."

When the men had come to Jesus, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, "Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?'"

Because John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, yet you say, "He has a demon!'

They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life."
