| John the Baptist
was born March 25, 7 B.C., in accordance with the promise that Gabriel
made to Elizabeth in June of the previous year. For five months
Elizabeth kept secret Gabriel's visitation; and when she told her
husband, Zacharias, he was greatly troubled and fully believed her
narrative only after he had an unusual dream about six weeks before
the birth of John. Excepting the visit of Gabriel to Elizabeth and
the dream of Zacharias, there was nothing unusual or supernatural
connected with the birth of John the Baptist. | |

| After their
return from Nazareth John's parents began the systematic education
of the lad. There was no synagogue school in this little village;
however, as he was a priest, Zacharias was fairly well educated,
and Elizabeth was far better educated than the average Judean woman;
she was also of the priesthood, being a descendant of the "daughters
of Aaron." Since John was an only child, they spent a great
deal of time on his mental and spiritual training. Zacharias had
only short periods of service at the temple in Jerusalem so that
he devoted much of his time to teaching his son. | |

John Becomes a Nazarite John had no school from which to graduate at the age of fourteen, but his parents had selected this as the appropriate year for him to take the formal Nazarite vow. Accordingly, Zacharias and Elizabeth took their son to Engedi, down by the Dead Sea. This was the southern headquarters of the Nazarite brotherhood, and there the lad was duly and solemnly inducted into this order for life. After these ceremonies and the making of the vows to abstain from all intoxicating drinks, to let the hair grow, and to refrain from touching the dead, the family proceeded to Jerusalem, where, before the temple, John completed the making of the offerings which were required of those taking Nazarite vows. | |

| John took the
same life vows that had been administered to his illustrious predecessors,
Samson and the prophet Samuel. A life Nazarite was looked upon as
a sanctified and holy personality. The Jews regarded a Nazarite
with almost the respect and veneration accorded the high priest,
and this was not strange since Nazarites of lifelong consecration
were the only persons, except high priests, who were ever permitted
to enter the holy of holies in the temple. | |

| When sixteen
years old, John, as a result of reading about Elijah, became greatly
impressed with the prophet of Mount Carmel and decided to adopt
his style of dress. From that day on John always wore a hairy garment
with a leather girdle. At sixteen he was more than six feet tall
and almost full grown. With his flowing hair and peculiar mode of
dress he was indeed a picturesque youth. And his parents expected
great things of this their only son, a child of promise and a Nazarite
for life. |

The Death of Zacharias
After an illness of several months Zacharias died in July, A.D. 12, when John was just past eighteen years of age. This was a time of great embarrassment to John since the Nazarite vow forbade contact with the dead, even in one's own family. Although John had endeavored to comply with the restrictions of his vow regarding contamination by the dead, he doubted that he had been wholly obedient to the requirements of the Nazarite order; therefore, after his father's burial he went to Jerusalem, where, in the Nazarite corner of the women's court, he offered the sacrifices required for his cleansing. | |

| In September
of this year Elizabeth and John made a journey to Nazareth to visit
Mary and Jesus. John had just about made up his mind to launch out
in his lifework, but he was admonished, not only by Jesus' words
but also by his example, to return home, take care of his mother,
and await the "coming of the Father's hour." After bidding
Jesus and Mary good-bye at the end of this enjoyable visit, John
did not again see Jesus until the event of his baptism in the Jordan. | |

| John and Elizabeth
returned to their home and began to lay plans for the future. Since
John refused to accept the priest's allowance due him from the temple
funds, by the end of two years they had all but lost their home;
so they decided to go south with the sheep herd. Accordingly, the
summer that John was twenty years of age witnessed their removal
to Hebron. In the so-called "wilderness of Judea" John
tended his sheep along a brook that was tributary to a larger stream
which entered the Dead Sea at Engedi. The Engedi colony included
not only Nazarites of lifelong and time-period consecration but
numerous other ascetic herdsmen who congregated in this region with
their herds and fraternized with the Nazarite brotherhood. They
supported themselves by sheep raising and from gifts which wealthy
Jews made to the order. | |

| As time passed,
John returned less often to Hebron, while he made more frequent
visits to Engedi. He was so entirely different from the majority
of the Nazarites that he found it very difficult fully to fraternize
with the brotherhood. But he was very fond of Abner, the acknowledged
leader and head of the Engedi colony. |

| 3. The Life of a Shepherd Along the valley of this little brook John built no less than a dozen stone shelters and night corrals, consisting of piled-up stones, wherein he could watch over and safeguard his herds of sheep and goats. John's life as a shepherd afforded him a great deal of time for thought. He talked much with Ezda, an orphan lad of Beth-zur, whom he had in a way adopted, and who cared for the herds when he made trips to Hebron to see his mother and to sell sheep, as well as when he went down to Engedi for Sabbath services. John and the lad lived very simply, subsisting on mutton, goat's milk, wild honey, and the edible locusts of that region. This, their regular diet, was supplemented by provisions brought from Hebron and Engedi from time to time. | |

| Elizabeth kept
John posted about Palestinian and world affairs, and his conviction
grew deeper and deeper that the time was fast approaching when the
old order was to end; that he was to become the herald of the approach
of a new age, "the kingdom of heaven." This rugged shepherd
was very partial to the writings of the Prophet Daniel. He read
a thousand times Daniel's description of the great image, which
Zacharias had told him represented the history of the great kingdoms
of the world, beginning with Babylon, then Persia, Greece, and finally
Rome. John perceived that already was Rome composed of such polyglot
peoples and races that it could never become a strongly cemented
and firmly consolidated empire. He believed that Rome was even then
divided, as Syria, Egypt, Palestine, and other provinces; and then
he further read "in the days of these kings shall the God of
heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And this
kingdom shall not be left to other people but shall break in pieces
and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."
"And there was given him dominion and glory and a kingdom that
all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion
is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom
never shall be destroyed." "And the kingdom and dominion
and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be
given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom
is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey
him." | |

| John was never
able completely to rise above the confusion produced by what he
had heard from his parents concerning Jesus and by these passages
which he read in the Scriptures. In Daniel he read: "I saw
in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man came
with the clouds of heaven, and there was given him dominion and
glory and a kingdom." But these words of the prophet did not
harmonize with what his parents had taught him. Neither did his
talk with Jesus, at the time of his visit when he was eighteen years
old, correspond with these statements of the Scriptures. Notwithstanding
this confusion, throughout all of his perplexity his mother assured
him that his distant cousin, Jesus of Nazareth, was the true Messiah,
that he had come to sit on the throne of David, and that he (John)
was to become his advance herald and chief support. | |

| From all John
heard of the vice and wickedness of Rome and the dissoluteness and
moral barrenness of the empire, from what he knew of the evil doings
of Herod Antipas and the governors of Judea, he was minded to believe
that the end of the age was impending. It seemed to this rugged
and noble child of nature that the world was ripe for the end of
the age of man and the dawn of the new and divine age¡ªthe kingdom
of heaven. The feeling grew in John's heart that he was to be the
last of the old prophets and the first of the new. And he fairly
vibrated with the mounting impulse to go forth and proclaim to all
men: "Repent! Get right with God! Get ready for the end; prepare
yourselves for the appearance of the new and eternal order of earth
affairs, the kingdom of heaven." |

| 4. The Death of Elizabeth On August 17, A.D. 22, when John was twenty-eight years of age, his mother suddenly passed away. Elizabeth's friends, knowing of the Nazarite restrictions regarding contact with the dead, even in one's own family, made all arrangements for the burial of Elizabeth before sending for John. When he received word of the death of his mother, he directed Ezda to drive his herds to Engedi and started for Hebron. | |

| On returning
to Engedi from his mother's funeral, he presented his flocks to
the brotherhood and for a season detached himself from the outside
world while he fasted and prayed. John knew only of the old methods
of approach to divinity; he knew only of the records of such as
Elijah, Samuel, and Daniel. Elijah was his ideal of a prophet. Elijah
was the first of the teachers of Israel to be regarded as a prophet,
and John truly believed that he was to be the last of this long
and illustrious line of the messengers of heaven. | |

| Throughout
this period John read much in the sacred writings which he found
at the Engedi home of the Nazarites. He was especially impressed
by Isaiah and by Malachi, the last of the prophets up to that time.
He read and reread the last five chapters of Isaiah, and he believed
these prophecies. Then he would read in Malachi: "Behold, I
will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the Lord; and he shall turn the hearts of the
fathers toward the children and the hearts of the children toward
their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
And it was only this promise of Malachi that Elijah would return
that deterred John from going forth to preach about the coming kingdom
and to exhort his fellow Jews to flee from the wrath to come. John
was ripe for the proclamation of the message of the coming kingdom,
but this expectation of the coming of Elijah held him back for more
than two years. He knew he was not Elijah. What did Malachi mean?
Was the prophecy literal or figurative? How could he know the truth?
He finally dared to think that, since the first of the prophets
was called Elijah, so the last should be known, eventually, by the
same name. Nevertheless, he had doubts, doubts sufficient to prevent
his ever calling himself Elijah. | |

| It was the
influence of Elijah that caused John to adopt his methods of direct
and blunt assault upon the sins and vices of his contemporaries.
He sought to dress like Elijah, and he endeavored to talk like Elijah;
in every outward aspect he was like the olden prophet. He was just
such a stalwart and picturesque child of nature, just such a fearless
and daring preacher of righteousness. John was not illiterate, he
did well know the Jewish sacred writings, but he was hardly cultured.
He was a clear thinker, a powerful speaker, and a fiery denunciator.
He was hardly an example to his age, but he was an eloquent rebuke.

| At last he
thought out the method of proclaiming the new age, the kingdom of

| 5. The Kingdom of God In order to understand John's message, account should be taken of the status of the Jewish people at the time he appeared upon the stage of action. For almost one hundred years all Israel had been in a quandary; they were at a loss to explain their continuous subjugation to gentile overlords. Had not Moses taught that righteousness was always rewarded with prosperity and power? Were they not God's chosen people? Why was the throne of David desolate and vacant? In the light of the Mosaic doctrines and the precepts of the prophets the Jews found it difficult to explain their long-continued national desolation. | |

| About one
hundred years before the days of Jesus and John a new school of
religious teachers arose in Palestine, the apocalyptists. These
new teachers evolved a system of belief that accounted for the sufferings
and humiliation of the Jews on the ground that they were paying
the penalty for the nation's sins. They fell back onto the well-known
reasons assigned to explain the Babylonian and other captivities
of former times. But, so taught the apocalyptists, Israel should
take heart; the days of their affliction were almost over; the discipline
of God's chosen people was about finished; God's patience with the
gentile foreigners was about exhausted. The end of Roman rule was
synonymous with the end of the age and, in a certain sense, with
the end of the world. These new teachers leaned heavily on the predictions
of Daniel, and they consistently taught that creation was about
to pass into its final stage; the kingdoms of this world were about
to become the kingdom of God. To the Jewish mind of that day this
was the meaning of that phrase-the kingdom of heaven-which runs
throughout the teachings of both John and Jesus. To the Jews of
Palestine the phrase "kingdom of heaven" had but one meaning:
an absolutely righteous state in which God (the Messiah) would rule
the nations of earth in perfection of power just as he ruled in
heaven- "Your will be done on earth as in heaven." | |

of John all Jews were expectantly asking, "How soon will the

throughout all Jewry a lively hope and a keen expectation that the
consummation of the desire of the ages would occur during the lifetime
of that generation. | |

| While the
Jews differed greatly in their estimates of the nature of the coming
kingdom, they were alike in their belief that the event was impending,
near at hand, even at the door. Many who read the Old Testament
literally looked expectantly for a new king in Palestine, for a
regenerated Jewish nation delivered from its enemies and presided
over by the successor of King David, the Messiah who would quickly
be acknowledged as the rightful and righteous ruler of all the world.
Another, though smaller, group of devout Jews held a vastly different
view of this kingdom of God. They taught that the coming kingdom
was not of this world, that the world was approaching its certain
end, and that "a new heaven and a new earth" were to usher
in the establishment of the kingdom of God; that this kingdom was
to be an everlasting dominion, that sin was to be ended, and that
the citizens of the new kingdom were to become immortal in their
enjoyment of this endless bliss. | |

| All were agreed
that some drastic purging or purifying discipline would of necessity
precede the establishment of the new kingdom on earth. The literalists
taught that a world-wide war would ensue which would destroy all
unbelievers, while the faithful would sweep on to universal and
eternal victory. The spiritists taught that the kingdom would be
ushered in by the great judgment of God which would relegate the
unrighteous to their well-deserved judgment of punishment and final
destruction, at the same time elevating the believing saints of
the chosen people to high seats of honor and authority with the
Son of Man, who would rule over the redeemed nations in God's name.
And this latter group even believed that many devout gentiles might
be admitted to the fellowship of the new kingdom. | |

| Some of the
Jews held to the opinion that God might possibly establish this
new kingdom by direct and divine intervention, but the vast majority
believed that he would interpose some representative intermediary,
the Messiah. And that was the only possible meaning the term Messiah
could have had in the minds of the Jews of the generation of John
and Jesus. Messiah could not possibly refer to one who merely taught
God's will or proclaimed the necessity for righteous living. To
all such holy persons the Jews gave the title of prophet. The Messiah
was to be more than a prophet; the Messiah was to bring in the establishment
of the new kingdom, the kingdom of God. No one who failed to do
this could be the Messiah in the traditional Jewish sense. | |

| Who would this
Messiah be? Again the Jewish teachers differed. The older ones clung
to the doctrine of the son of David. The newer taught that, since
the new kingdom was a heavenly kingdom, the new ruler might also
be a divine personality, one who had long sat at God's right hand
in heaven. And strange as it may appear, those who thus conceived
of the ruler of the new kingdom looked upon him not as a human Messiah,
not as a mere man, but as " the Son of Man "-a Son of
God-a heavenly Prince, long held in waiting thus to assume the rulership
of the earth made new. Such was the religious background of the
Jewish world when John went forth proclaiming: "Repent, for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" | |

| It becomes
apparent, therefore, that John's announcement of the coming kingdom
had not less than half a dozen different meanings in the minds of
those who listened to his impassioned preaching. But no matter what
significance they attached to the phrases which John employed, each
of these various groups of Jewish-kingdom expectants was intrigued
by the proclamations of this sincere, enthusiastic, rough-and-ready
preacher of righteousness and repentance, who so solemnly exhorted
his hearers to "flee from the wrath to come." |

This was the most frequented of all the Jordan crossings. | |

| It was apparent
to all who heard John that he was more than a preacher. The great
majority of those who listened to this strange man who had come
up from the Judean wilderness went away believing that they had
heard the voice of a prophet. No wonder the souls of these weary
and expectant Jews were deeply stirred by such a phenomenon. Never
in all Jewish history had the devout children of Abraham so longed
for the "consolation of Israel" or more ardently anticipated
"the restoration of the kingdom." Never in all Jewish
history could John's message, "the kingdom of heaven is at
hand," have made such a deep and universal appeal as at the
very time he so mysteriously appeared on the bank of this southern
crossing of the Jordan. | |

| There was still
another and a new feature about the work of this Nazarite preacher:
He baptized every one of his believers in the Jordan " for
the remission of sins. " Although baptism was not a new ceremony
among the Jews, they had never seen it employed as John now made
use of it. It had long been the practice thus to baptize the gentile
proselytes into the fellowship of the outer court of the temple,
but never had the Jews themselves been asked to submit to the baptism
of repentance. Only fifteen months intervened between the time John
began to preach and baptize and his arrest and imprisonment at the
instigation of Herod Antipas, but in this short time he baptized
considerably over one hundred thousand penitents. | |

| In May of
this year, while he still lingered at Bethany ford, the priests
and Levites sent a delegation out to inquire of John whether he
claimed to be the Messiah, and by whose authority he preached. John
answered these questioners by saying: "Go tell your masters
that you have heard `the voice of one crying in the wilderness,'
as spoken by the prophet, saying, `make ready the way of the Lord,
make straight a highway for our God. Every valley shall be filled,
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; the uneven ground
shall become a plain, while the rough places shall become a smooth
valley; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" | |

| John was a
heroic but tactless preacher. One day when he was preaching and
baptizing on the west bank of the Jordan, a group of Pharisees and
a number of Sadducees came forward and presented themselves for
baptism. Before leading them down into the water, John, addressing
them as a group said: "Who warned you to flee, as vipers before
the fire, from the wrath to come? I will baptize you, but I warn
you to bring forth fruit worthy of sincere repentance if you would
receive the remission of your sins. Tell me not that Abraham is
your father. I declare that God is able of these twelve stones here
before you to raise up worthy children for Abraham. And even now
is the ax laid to the very roots of the trees. Every tree that brings
not forth good fruit is destined to be cut down and cast into the
fire." (The twelve stones to which he referred were the reputed
memorial stones set up by Joshua to commemorate the crossing of
the "twelve tribes" at this very point when they first
entered the promised land.) | |

classes for his disciples, in the course of which he instructed
them in the details of their new life and endeavored to answer their
many questions. He counseled the teachers to instruct in the spirit
as well as the letter of the law. He instructed the rich to feed
the poor; to the tax gatherers he said: "Extort no more than
that which is assigned you." To the soldiers he said: "Do
no violence and exact nothing wrongfully-be content with your wages."
While he counseled all: "Make ready for the end of the age-the

| 7. John Journeys North John still had confused ideas about the coming kingdom and its king. The longer he preached the more confused he became, but never did this intellectual uncertainty concerning the nature of the coming kingdom in the least lessen his conviction of the certainty of the kingdom's immediate appearance. In mind John might be confused, but in spirit never. He was in no doubt about the coming kingdom, but he was far from certain as to whether or not Jesus was to be the ruler of that kingdom. As long as John held to the idea of the restoration of the throne of David, the teachings of his parents that Jesus, born in the City of David, was to be the long-expected deliverer, seemed consistent; but at those times when he leaned more toward the doctrine of a spiritual kingdom and the end of the temporal age on earth, he was sorely in doubt as to the part Jesus would play in such events. Sometimes he questioned everything, but not for long. He really wished he might talk it all over with his cousin, but that was contrary to their expressed agreement. | |

north, he thought much about Jesus. He paused at more than a dozen
places as he traveled up the Jordan. It was at Adam that he first
made reference to " another one who is to come after me "in
answer to the direct question which his disciples asked him,"
Are you the Messiah? " And he went on to say: "There will
come after me one who is greater than I, whose sandal straps I am
not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I baptize you with water,
but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. And his shovel is
in his hand thoroughly to cleanse his threshing floor; he will gather
the wheat into his garner, but the chaff will he burn up with the
judgment fire." | |

| In response
to the questions of his disciples John continued to expand his teachings,
from day to day adding more that was helpful and comforting compared
with his early and cryptic message: "Repent and be baptized."
By this time throngs were arriving from Galilee and the Decapolis.
Scores of earnest believers lingered with their adored teacher day
after day. |

| 8. Meeting of Jesus and John By December of A.D. 25, when John reached the neighborhood of Pella in his journey up the Jordan, his fame had extended throughout all Palestine, and his work had become the chief topic of conversation in all the towns about the lake of Galilee. Jesus had spoken favorably of John's message, and this had caused many from Capernaum to join John's cult of repentance and baptism. James and John the fishermen sons of Zebedee had gone down in December, soon after John took up his preaching position near Pella, and had offered themselves for baptism. They went to see John once a week and brought back to Jesus fresh, first-hand reports of the evangelist's work. | |

| Jesus' brothers
James and Jude had talked about going down to John for baptism;
and now that Jude had come over to Capernaum for the Sabbath services,
both he and James, after listening to Jesus' discourse in the synagogue,
decided to take counsel with him concerning their plans. This was
on Saturday night, January 12, A.D. Jesus requested that they postpone
the discussion until the following day, when he would give them
his answer. He slept very little that night, being in close communion
with the Father in heaven. He had arranged to have noontime lunch
with his brothers and to advise them concerning baptism by John.
That Sunday morning Jesus was working as usual in the boatshop.
James and Jude had arrived with the lunch and were waiting in the
lumber room for him, as it was not yet time for the midday recess,
and they knew that Jesus was very regular about such matters. | |

and Jude, repeating, "My hour has come¡ªlet us go to John."
And they started immediately for Pella, eating their lunch as they
journeyed. This was on Sunday, January 13. They tarried for the
night in the Jordan valley and arrived on the scene of John's baptizing

| John had just
begun baptizing the candidates for the day. Scores of repentants
were standing in line awaiting their turn when Jesus and his two
brothers took up their positions in this line of earnest men and
women who had become believers in John's preaching of the coming
kingdom. John had been inquiring about Jesus of Zebedee's sons.
He had heard of Jesus' remarks concerning his preaching, and he
was day by day expecting to see him arrive on the scene, but he
had not expected to greet him in the line of baptismal candidates.

with the details of rapidly baptizing such a large number of converts,
John did not look up to see Jesus until the Son of Man stood in
his immediate presence. When John recognized Jesus, the ceremonies
were halted for a moment while he greeted his cousin in the flesh
and asked, "But why do you come down into the water to greet
me?" And Jesus answered, "To be subject to your baptism."
John replied: "But I have need to be baptized by you. Why do
you come to me?" And Jesus whispered to John: "Bear with
me now, for it becomes us to set this example for my brothers standing
here with me, and that the people may know that my hour has come." | |

| There was a
tone of finality and authority in Jesus' voice. John was atremble
with emotion as he made ready to baptize Jesus of Nazareth in the
Jordan at noon on Monday, January 14, A.D. Thus did John baptize
Jesus and his two brothers James and Jude. And when John had baptized
these three, he dismissed the others for the day, announcing that
he would resume baptisms at noon the next day. As the people were
departing, the four men still standing in the water heard a strange
sound, and presently there appeared for a moment an apparition immediately
over the head of Jesus, and they heard a voice saying, "This
is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." A great change
came over the countenance of Jesus, and coming up out of the water
in silence he took leave of them, going toward the hills to the
east. And no man saw Jesus again for forty days. | |

the people and create all this stir?" And John replied: "It

| These forty
days were a difficult period for John and his disciples. What was
to be the relation of John to Jesus? A hundred questions came up
for discussion. Politics and selfish preferment began to make their
appearance. Intense discussions grew up around the various ideas
and concepts of the Messiah. Would he become a military leader and
a Davidic king? Would he smite the Roman armies as Joshua had the
Canaanites? Or would he come to establish a spiritual kingdom? John
rather decided, with the minority, that Jesus had come to establish
the kingdom of heaven, although he was not altogether clear in his
own mind as to just what was to be embraced within this mission
of the establishment of the kingdom of heaven. | |

strenuous days in John's experience, and he prayed for the return
of Jesus. Some of John's disciples organized scouting parties to
go in search of Jesus, but John forbade, saying: "Our times

Son." | |

| It was early
on the morning of Sabbath, February 23, that the company of John,
engaged in eating their morning meal, looked up toward the north
and beheld Jesus coming to them. As he approached them, John stood
upon a large rock and, lifting up his sonorous voice, said: "Behold
the Son of God, the deliverer of the world! This is he of whom I
have said, `After me there will come one who is preferred before
me because he was before me.' For this cause came I out of the wilderness
to preach repentance and to baptize with water, proclaiming that
the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And now comes one who shall baptize
you with the Holy Spirit. And I beheld the divine spirit descending
upon this man, and I heard the voice of God declare, `This is my
beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.'" | |

| Early in the
morning of the next day he took leave of John and his disciples,
going back to Galilee. He gave them no word as to when they would
again see him. To John's inquiries about his own preaching and mission
Jesus only said, "My Father will guide you now and in the future
as he has in the past." And these two great men separated that
morning on the banks of the Jordan, never again to greet each other
in the flesh. |

| 10. John Journeys South Since Jesus had gone north into Galilee, John felt led to retrace his steps southward. Accordingly, on Sunday morning, March 3, John and the remainder of his disciples began their journey south. About one quarter of John's immediate followers had meantime departed for Galilee in quest of Jesus. There was a sadness of confusion about John. He never again preached as he had before baptizing Jesus. He somehow felt that the responsibility of the coming kingdom was no longer on his shoulders. He felt that his work was almost finished; he was disconsolate and lonely. But he preached, baptized, and journeyed on southward. | |

| Near the village
of Adam, John tarried for several weeks, and it was here that he
made the memorable attack upon Herod Antipas for unlawfully taking
the wife of another man. By June of this year (A.D. 26) John was
back at the Bethany ford of the Jordan, where he had begun his preaching
of the coming kingdom more than a year previously. In the weeks
following the baptism of Jesus the character of John's preaching
gradually changed into a proclamation of mercy for the common people,
while he denounced with renewed vehemence the corrupt political
and religious rulers. | |

| Herod Antipas,
in whose territory John had been preaching, became alarmed lest
he and his disciples should start a rebellion. Herod also resented
John's public criticisms of his domestic affairs. In view of all
this, Herod decided to put John in prison. Accordingly, very early
in the morning of June 12, before the multitude arrived to hear
the preaching and witness the baptizing, the agents of Herod placed
John under arrest. As weeks passed and he was not released, his
disciples scattered over all Palestine, many of them going into
Galilee to join the followers of Jesus. |

| 11. John in Prison John had a lonely and somewhat bitter experience
in prison. Few of his followers were permitted to see him. He
longed to see Jesus but had to be content with hearing of his
work through those of his followers who had become believers in
the Son of Man. He was often tempted to doubt Jesus and his divine
mission. If Jesus were the Messiah, why did he do nothing to deliver
him from this unbearable imprisonment? For more than a year and
a half this rugged man of God's outdoors languished in that despicable
prison. And this experience was a great test of his faith in,
and loyalty to, Jesus. Indeed, this whole experience was a great
test of John's faith even in God. Many times was he tempted to
doubt even the genuineness of his own mission and experience.

| After he had
been in prison several months, a group of his disciples came to
him and, after reporting concerning the public activities of Jesus,
said: "So you see, Teacher, that he who was with you at the
upper Jordan prospers and receives all who come to him. He even
feasts with publicans and sinners. You bore courageous witness to
him, and yet he does nothing to effect your deliverance." But
John answered his friends: "This man can do nothing unless
it has been given him by his Father in heaven. You well remember
that I said, `I am not the Messiah, but I am one sent on before
to prepare the way for him.' And that I did. He who has the bride
is the bridegroom, but the friend of the bridegroom who stands near-by
and hears him rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice.
This, my joy, therefore is fulfilled. He must increase but I must
decrease. I am of this earth and have declared my message. Jesus
of Nazareth comes down to the earth from heaven and is above us
all. The Son of Man has descended from God, and the words of God
he will declare to you. For the Father in heaven gives not the spirit
by measure to his own Son. The Father loves his Son and will presently
put all things in the hands of this Son. He who believes in the
Son has eternal life. And these words which I speak are true and
abiding." | |

| These disciples
were amazed at John's pronouncement, so much so that they departed
in silence. John was also much agitated, for he perceived that he
had uttered a prophecy. Never again did he wholly doubt the mission
and divinity of Jesus. But it was a sore disappointment to John
that Jesus sent him no word, that he came not to see him, and that
he exercised none of his great power to deliver him from prison.
But Jesus knew all about this. He had great love for John, but being
now cognizant of his divine nature and knowing fully the great things
in preparation for John when he departed from this world and also
knowing that John's work on earth was finished, he constrained himself
not to interfere in the natural outworking of the great preacher-prophet's
career. | |

| This long suspense
in prison was humanly unbearable. Just a few days before his death
John again sent trusted messengers to Jesus, inquiring: "Is
my work done? Why do I languish in prison? Are you truly the Messiah,
or shall we look for another?" And when these two disciples
gave this message to Jesus, the Son of Man replied: "Go back
to John and tell him that I have not forgotten but to suffer me
also this, for it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Tell
John what you have seen and heard¡ªthat the poor have good tidings
preached to them-and, finally, tell the beloved herald of my earth
mission that he shall be abundantly blessed in the age to come if
he finds no occasion to doubt and stumble over me." And this
was the last word John received from Jesus. This message greatly
comforted him and did much to stabilize his faith and prepare him
for the tragic end of his life in the flesh which followed so soon

| 12. Death of John the Baptist As John was working in southern Perea when arrested, he was taken immediately to the prison of the fortress of Machaerus, where he was incarcerated until his execution. Herod ruled over Perea as well as Galilee, and he maintained residence at this time at both Julias and Machaerus in Perea. In Galilee the official residence had been moved from Sepphoris to the new capital at Tiberias. | |

| Herod feared
to release John lest he instigate rebellion. He feared to put him
to death lest the multitude riot in the capital, for thousands of
Pereans believed that John was a holy man, a prophet. Therefore
Herod kept the Nazarite preacher in prison, not knowing what else
to do with him. Several times John had been before Herod, but never
would he agree either to leave the domains of Herod or to refrain
from all public activities if he were released. And this new agitation
concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was steadily increasing, admonished
Herod that it was no time to turn John loose. Besides, John was
also a victim of the intense and bitter hatred of Herodias, Herod's
unlawful wife. | |

occasions Herod talked with John about the kingdom of heaven, and
while sometimes seriously impressed with his message, he was afraid
to release him from prison. | |

| Since much
building was still going on at Tiberias, Herod spent considerable
time at his Perean residences, and he was partial to the fortress
of Machaerus. It was a matter of several years before all the public
buildings and the official residence at Tiberias were fully completed. | |

| In celebration
of his birthday Herod made a great feast in the Machaerian palace
for his chief officers and other men high in the councils of the
government of Galilee and Perea. Since Herodias had failed to bring
about John's death by direct appeal to Herod, she now set herself
to the task of having John put to death by cunning planning. | |

| In the course
of the evening's festivities and entertainment, Herodias presented
her daughter to dance before the banqueters. Herod was very much
pleased with the damsel's performance and, calling her before him,
said: "You are charming. I am much pleased with you. Ask me
on this my birthday for whatever you desire, and I will give it
to you, even to the half of my kingdom." And Herod did all
this while well under the influence of his many wines. The young
lady drew aside and inquired of her mother what she should ask of
Herod. Herodias said, "Go to Herod and ask for the head of
John the Baptist." And the young woman, returning to the banquet
table, said to Herod, "I request that you forthwith give me
the head of John the Baptist on a platter." | |

| Herod was
filled with fear and sorrow, but because of his oath and because
of all those who sat at meat with him, he would not deny the request.
And Herod Antipas sent a soldier, commanding him to bring the head
of John. So was John that night beheaded in the prison, the soldier
bringing the head of the prophet on a platter and presenting it
to the young woman at the rear of the banquet hall. And the damsel
gave the platter to her mother. When John's disciples heard of this,
they came to the prison for the body of John, and after laying it
in a tomb, they went and told Jesus. |
