PEOPLE OF THE BIBLE JOHN THE BAPTIZER ISA 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. MAL 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: MAL 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. MAT 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, MAT 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. MAT 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. MAT 3:5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, MAT 3:6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. MAT 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: MAT 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. MAT 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. MAT 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? MAT 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. MAT 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: MAT 4:12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; MAT 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, MAT 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? MAT 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: MAT 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. MAT 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. MAT 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? MAT 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. MAT 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. MAT 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. MAT 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. MAT 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. MAT 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. MAT 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. MAT 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. MAT 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, MAT 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. MAT 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. MAT 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. MAT 14:1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, MAT 14:2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. MAT 14:3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. MAT 14:4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. MAT 14:5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. MAT 14:6 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. MAT 14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. MAT 14:8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger. MAT 14:9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. MAT 14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. MAT 14:11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. MAT 14:12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. MAT 16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. MAT 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. MAT 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. MAT 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. MAT 21:32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him. MAR 1:2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. MAR 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. MAR 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. MAR 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. MAR 1:6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; MAR 1:7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. MAR 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. MAR 1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. MAR 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: MAR 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. MAR 1:12 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. MAR 1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. MAR 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, MAR 6:14 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. MAR 6:16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. MAR 6:17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. MAR 6:18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. MAR 6:19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: MAR 6:20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. MAR 6:21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; MAR 6:22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. MAR 6:23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. MAR 6:24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. MAR 6:25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist. MAR 6:26 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. MAR 6:27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison, MAR 6:28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. MAR 6:29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. MAR 9:13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him. MAR 11:32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. LUK 1:11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. LUK 1:12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. LUK 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. LUK 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. LUK 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. LUK 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. LUK 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. LUK 1:18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. LUK 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. LUK 1:20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. LUK 1:57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. LUK 1:58 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. LUK 1:59 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. LUK 1:60 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. LUK 1:61 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. LUK 1:62 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. LUK 1:63 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. LUK 1:64 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. LUK 1:65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea. LUK 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; LUK 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, LUK 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, LUK 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. LUK 1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. LUK 3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. LUK 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; LUK 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. LUK 3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; LUK 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. LUK 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? LUK 3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; LUK 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: LUK 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. LUK 3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. LUK 3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, LUK 3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. LUK 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, LUK 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. LUK 5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink? LUK 7:18 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. LUK 7:19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? LUK 7:20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? LUK 7:21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. LUK 7:22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. LUK 7:23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. LUK 7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? LUK 7:25 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. LUK 7:26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. LUK 7:27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. LUK 7:28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. LUK 7:29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. LUK 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. LUK 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? LUK 7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. LUK 7:33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. LUK 9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. LUK 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. LUK 20:6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet. JOH 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. JOH 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. JOH 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. JOH 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. JOH 1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? JOH 1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. JOH 1:24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. JOH 1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? JOH 1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; JOH 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose. JOH 1:28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. JOH 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. JOH 1:30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. JOH 1:31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. JOH 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. JOH 1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. JOH 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. JOH 1:35 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; JOH 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! JOH 1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. JOH 1:38 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? JOH 1:39 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. JOH 1:40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. JOH 3:23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. JOH 3:24 For John was not yet cast into prison. JOH 3:25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. JOH 3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him. JOH 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. JOH 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. JOH 3:29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. JOH 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. JOH 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. JOH 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. JOH 3:33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. JOH 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. JOH 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. JOH 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. JOH 5:32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. JOH 5:33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. JOH 5:34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. JOH 5:35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. JOH 10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. ACT 13:24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ACT 13:25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. ACT 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. ============================== THE LECTRONIC IBRARY ECHANGE P.O.
