1 Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

11 "Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

12 "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.

2 and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."

8 Having been prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."

14 And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

13 Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
