Flavius Josephus in Jewish Antiquities book 18, chapter 5, paragraph 2 records the following:
Now some of the Jews thought that the destruction of Herod's army came from God, and that very justly, as a punishment of what he did against John, that was called the Baptist: for Herod slew him, who was a good man, and commanded the Jews to exercise virtue, both as to righteousness towards one another, and piety towards God, and so to come to baptism; for that the washing [with water] would be acceptable to him, if they made us ...

JOHN THE BAPTIST JOHN THE BAPTIST The mystical son of Zacharias, born at the summer solstice and complement of Christ whose opposite birth was the winter solstice. In the deepest sense, John the Baptist was both the real and symbolic Christ, dwelling in the wilderness, wearing camel skins and eating locusts and wild honey. It was he who preached, "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" It was he who said, long before Christ, "He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise." It was he who said, "Do violence to no man!" It was he who denied the Pharisees his baptism, "O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" But then we encounter the inevitable Xtian interpolation, added into the Bible a century later: "I indeed baptise 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!" (Note the reference to the usual magical elements - Fire, Spirit, etc. - John, born under the sign of the Crab, being the baptiser by Water.) John met his fate supposedly because he spurned the advances of Salome and her mother. Eventually they succeeded in convincing Herod to have him beheaded (i.e., removed the spirit from the body). The Jesus who came after was considered by some to be the reincarnation of John (or the resurrected spirit thereof).

| | | | John the Baptist: Encyclopedia II - Mark 1 - John the Baptist Mark begins with quotes from Malachi 3:1 and Isaiah 40:3. He assumes these refer to John the Baptist. All four gospels use this quote from Isaiah. It is in Luke 4:4-6, Matthew 3:3, and John 1:23.
He describes John's activities, preaching repentance and forgiveness of sins and baptizing in the desert. He says he wore camel hair, a leather belt, and survived off locusts and wild honey. There has been much specualtion that John was an Essene, perhaps like Jesus Himself, but there is no hard evidence either way. According to Luke Jesus and John were cousins. All portraits of him paint him as certainly an ascetic, bu ...

| | | | John the Baptist: Encyclopedia II - Luke 3 - John the Baptist Luke, as in the first two chapters, provides a chronological guide to the events he describes:
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar—when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene— during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert. (1-2)
Tiberius' fifteenth year of rule was 29 AD or 30 AD, so if one believes Luke, one can ...
