G2491G–Ἰωάννης–Iōannēs

And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

Now John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:

Ἰωάννῃ Iōannē “to John”

And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

Ἰωάννου· Iōannou “John:”

Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “than John”

And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

For all the prophets and the law were in force till John.

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “John”

For John came, taking no food or drink, and they say, He has an evil spirit.

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

Ἰωάννην Iōannēn “John”

Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “John”

The baptism of John, where did it come from? from heaven or from men? And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him?

Ἰωάννου Iōannou “of John”

But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

Ἰωάννην. Iōannēn “John.”

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

Ἰωάννης Iōannēs “John”

And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.
