G2491G–Ἰωάννης–Iōannēs

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan;

Ἰωάννου. Iōannou “John.”

Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “of John”

(Now John's disciples and those of the Pharisees were keeping a fast.) And they came and asked Him, "How is it that John's disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?"

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, "John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

But when Herod heard of Him, he said, "The John, whom I beheaded, has come back to life."

Ἰωάννην, Iōannēn “John —”

For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

For John had repeatedly told Herod, "You have no right to be living with your brother's wife."

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

She at once went out and said to her mother: "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptizer," she replied.

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. "My desire is," she said, "that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist."

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

"John the Baptist," they replied, "but others say Elijah, and others, that it is one of the Prophets."

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

John's Baptism--was it of Heavenly or of human origin? Answer me."

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

Or should we say, `human?'" They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your petition has been heard: and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call his name John.

Ἰωάννην. Iōannēn “John.”

His mother, however, said, "No, he is to be called John."

Ἰωάννης. Iōannēs “John.”

So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

during the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, a message from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the Desert.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

And while the people were in suspense and all were debating in their minds whether John might possibly be the Anointed One,

Ἰωάννου, Iōannou “John,”

he answered the question by saying to them all, "As for me, I am baptizing you with water, but One mightier than I is coming, whose very sandal-strap I am not worthy to unfasten: He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Ἰωάννης· Iōannēs “John:”

now added this to crown all the rest, that he threw John into prison.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

Again they said to Him, "John's disciples fast often and pray, as do also those of the pharisees; but yours eat and drink."

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

John's disciples brought him an account of all these things;

Ἰωάννῃ Iōannē “to John”

so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord. "Are you the Coming One?" he asked, "or is there another that we are to expect?"

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

The men came to Jesus and said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you with this question: `Are you the Coming One, or is there another that we are to expect?'"

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

Then He answered the messengers, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind men receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are purified, deaf persons hear, the dead are raised to life, the poor have the Good News proclaimed to them.

Ἰωάννῃ Iōannē “to John”
