"I solemnly tell you that among all of woman born no greater has ever been raised up than John the Baptist; yet one who is of lower rank in the Kingdom of the Heavens is greater than he.

But from the time of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of the Heavens has been suffering violent assault, and the violent have been seizing it by force.

and he said to his courtiers, "This is John the Baptist: he has come back to life--and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."

So she, instigated by her mother, said, "Give me here on a dish the head of John the Baptist."

"Some say John the Baptist," they replied; "others Elijah; others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets."

Then it dawned upon the disciples that it was John the Baptist about whom He had spoken to them.
