'Baptist' in the Bible

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Wilderness of Judea

“I assure you: Among those born of women no one greater than John the Baptist has appeared, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been suffering violence, and the violent have been seizing it by force.

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

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

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

King Herod heard of this, because Jesus’ name had become well known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

They answered Him, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets.”

When the men reached Him, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to ask You, ‘Are You the One who is to come, or should we look for someone else?’”

For John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

They answered, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back.”
