| | USATODAY.com - Cave in Israel linked to John the Baptist |
| | John, a distant relative of Jesus &; their mothers were kin, according to the Bible — was a fiery preacher with a message of repentance and a considerable following. | | | The Gospels say that John was a member of the Nazarites, a sect whose followers didn't cut their hair, and that he adopted the dress of the ancient prophets, including a garment woven of camel's hair. | | | "John the Baptist, who was just a figure from the Gospels, now comes to life," British archaeologist Shimon Gibson said during an exclusive tour of the cave given to The Associated Press. |

| | John the Baptist is one of the best-known people of The Bible. | | | John the Baptist humbly baptized Jesus Christ (imagine the honor of being the one to do that). | | | John was a prophet whose own coming was prophesied by an earlier prophet (see Prophecy) over 700 years before (Isaiah 40:3-5) - yet another illustration of God's step-by-step Plan. |

| | from jesus to christ: a portrait of jesus' world: john the baptist |
| | That is, John as the self-conscious and deliberate forerunner of Jesus. | | | Because for the early church it would have been something of an embarrassment to say that Jesus, who was in their minds superior to John the Baptist, had been baptized by him, and thereby proclaimed some sort of subordination to him, some sort of disciple relationship to him.... | | | It means Jesus is changing his vision of God and the Kingdom of God from what he has taken from John. |

| | PAPER 135 - JOHN THE BAPTIST |
| | 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. | | | John conducted 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. | | | 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. |

| | Scripture From Scratch ©1999 - John the Baptist: Preparing the Way by Jerome Murphy-O'Connor, O.P. |
| | Elsewhere the ministry of John is presented in unmistakably positive terms: "John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him; and, even when you saw it, you did not afterward repent and believe him" (Matthew 21:32). | | | This appeared to be justified on the grounds that John and the Essenes shared similar views, a commitment to asceticism, similar eschatological visions and a belief in the importance of bathing in water. | | | Had Jesus not insisted on the significance of John the Baptist, the latter would have been banished from the Gospel tradition as an extreme embarrassment. |

| | John The Baptist In the New Testament and Josephus |
| | And so John, out of Herod's suspiciousness, was sent in chains to Machaerus, the fort previously mentioned, and there put to death; but it was the opinion of the Jews that out of retribution for John God willed the destruction of the army so as to afflict Herod. | | | A puzzle for readers is that Josephus' description of John the Baptist occurs several paragraphs after his description of Jesus (18.5.2 116 compared to 18.3.3 63), implying that John came later in time; but it is important in the gospels that John appeared before Jesus so as to announce him. | | | Josephus' description of John is more detailed than his account of Jesus, and John's death is, in the people's view, avenged afterward by Heaven with real actions, but Josephus mentions no such divine support for Jesus. |

| | John the Baptist. The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002 |
| | According to the Gospels, John declared, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord.’” Christians interpret this to mean that John was sent to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. | | | John was known as “the Baptist” because he called on his followers to go through a ceremony of baptism to demonstrate their repentance for their sins; Jesus began his public life by submitting himself to John’s baptism. | | | At a banquet, Herod rashly promised his stepdaughter, Salome, anything she asked; she asked for the head of John on a platter. |
