IWII Or NAZARETH AND
JOHN THE BAPTIST
Just bow much tafiuence the Ufe
end death of John the Baptist had
on the ministry of Jesus of Nasa-
ls th we do not know That it was
considerable we do know In the
beginning of his gospel Matthew
devotee a long chapter to John and
Jesus Himself said when He heard
of John's death
“I tell you
among the eons
of t omen there
Is none greater
tha John"
The two men
were blood re-
lations We do
not know the
exact degree but
It it fair to con-
clude from the
gospel texts that Mary mother of
Jesus and Elizabeth mother of
JoLn were cousins They were
boys together and the two mothers
were so close that they confided
to each other the most intimate
secrets which come to young
women
It seems to me natural then to
imagine that the families were
closely allied by blood kinship and
It seems to me that Jesus and
John might easily have been part-
ners and companions in those
things which come Into the lives
cf boys brought up together
John was about six months older
than Jesus The incidents of his
birth to Zechariah the devout
priest and Elizabeth the yearning
mother when they were both old
U related in detail in the gospels
just as are related the Incidents
and parentage of Jesus At his
birth John was consecrated a
Naxarite
We first meet John in the third
chapter of Matthew's gospel The
picture here drawn is that of a
wild man living In cave dressed
ofllj in the skins of animals liv-
ing on what nature provided He
wee not a vegetarian because we
re told that a large part of bis
diet we th edible locust of
Palestine
Before Jesus began his ministry
John appeared from his wilderness
hiding place and began preaching
repentance and baptism up and
down the Jordan valley The
ruling Jews studying thdr prophe-
cies and expecting a Messiah sent
a delegation to John and asked
him the direct question "Are you
the Messiah?" When John said
he was not they said probably
with an oath uho then are you
and where do you get ycur au-
thority? John told them he was
merely a forerunner preparing the
way for the real Messiah
I also think it is fair to conclude
that several if not all of Jesus’
disciples were probably first dis-
ciples of John Jesus Himself
might have been called a disciple
of John for He came to John and
was baptized by him In bis gospel
according to John this Idea i con-
firmed When John baptized Jesus
there were at least two or probably
more who followed Jesus when
John had identified Him One was
Andrew and the other of the two
was probably John who became
kruwn as the Beloved Disciple
They followed Jeus these two
had a long talk with Him and con-
cluded that He must be the prom-
ised y - -slab Andrew went to bis

broth- rater and Peter wai sole
on th Idea when be talked with
Jeeus Nathaneal waa doubtful
about anything good coming out of
Nazareth but ha toe waa con-
vinced i
John the Baptist waa rather aa
outapoken fallow and whan ha de-
nounced th Elng as a murderer
and an adulterer ha signed his own
death warrant Fer tha kings in
those days ware a vengeful lot
and tolerated no criticism In
these days wa take out our ven-
geance by throwing opponents out
of office In those days vengeance
was more direct the opponents
were beheaded Whan kings be-
came more civilised they simply
stood their critics against a wall
and shot them
It Is rather curious that Josephus
the greet Jewish historian gives
several paragraphs to John and
none to Jesus He told of John’s
death and attributed it to politics
John with his great following aug-
mented by thousands as be con-
tinued preaching became a menace
to the ruler end he was afraid of
revolution in which he might be
overthrown Kings in those days
loved power end wealth Just as
much as politicians do today
In some records I have read that
there ere still those who believe
that John wa the real Messiah
despite his positive denial When
Paul wee organizing and preaching
In Asia a man appeared named
Apollo He was a great orator
Priscilla and Acquilla who were
friends of Paul and thoroughly
grounded in Paul's Christianity
heard Apollot apeak took him
home with them and asked where
he got his theology He told them
that he wa a disciple of John tha
Baptist
