'Baptist' in the Bible

Now in those days John the Baptist *came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Having been prompted by her mother, she *said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.”

And they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.”

Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, “John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him.”

And she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.”

When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, ‘Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?’”

For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again.”
