'Baptist' in the Bible

About this time John the Baptist made his appearance, preaching in the Desert of Judaea.

"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.

The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. "My desire is," she said, "that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist."

"John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."

The men came to Jesus and said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you with this question: 'Are you the Coming One, or is there another that we are to expect?'"

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

"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."
