| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John the Baptist |
 | | John, in his fetters, was attended by some of his disciples, who kept him in touch with the events of the day. | | | John's disciples, hearing of his death, "came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb" (Mark, vi, 29), "and came and told Jesus" (Matt., xiv, 12). | | | For instance, St. Peter of Alexandria believed St. John was taken into the desert to escape the wrath of Herod, who, if we may believe report, was impelled by fear of losing his kingdom to seek the life of the Precursor, just as he was, later on, to seek that of the new-born Saviour. |
