Tell us if You are the One, or should we look for another.
Yes John did send his followers to Jesus to find out if Jesus was the messiah.
The incident in question didn't involve Paul. It was John the Baptist who, while imprisoned, sent followers to inquire of Jesus.Matthew 11:2, 3 - And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said to Him, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"(Parallel passage at Luke 7:18-20)[NKJV]
john is much older than jesus. john is the baptizer while jesus is the savior
he withdrew into Galilee and settled in Capernaum
It could have somthing to do with the fact that jesus had to totally rely upon God to lead him and take care of that which he had no control over ,Jesus left because he had to forfill his Fathers plan.
No. Jesus Christ is the WORD of God [John 1:1].While He didn't pen the Words... it was He who inspired men to record God's message... the "Spiritual Bread of Life."(John 6:35). Jesus is the Bible.Revelation 19:10 tells us that "...this witness to Jesus inspires all prophecy..."(Phillips), so Jesus was the subject of many Bible books, but the writer of none.
Repent, be baptized, and look for the coming of the Lord.Initially John the Baptist thought the mission was like Jonah's repentance message but when he baptized Jesus he was given the message that this was the Messiah.
John 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John became an apostle because he was chosen by Jesus to be one of the twelve disciples. Jesus saw something in John that made him suitable for carrying on his teachings and spreading his message after his death. John's close relationship with Jesus and his dedication to the ministry played a crucial role in his selection as an apostle.
No. Luke's Gospel has John the Baptist send a message to Jesus, asking whether he was the one who was to come, and the other gospels have no message from John at all. Our historical source on John the Baptist is the first-century Jewish historian, Josephus. His information is that John was imprisoned in the year 35 CE for publicly criticising Herod Antipas' marriage to his own brother's former wife. Since it is traditionally believed that Jesus was crucified in either 30 or 33 CE, it would not have been possible for John to ask Jesus to visit him in jail.
John the Baptist had his own disciples. The Bible says John's disciples practiced fasting (Mark 2:18), and he taught them to pray (Luke 11:1). Additionally, while John the Baptist was in prison, he sent two of his own disciples to ask Jesus if he was the coming One (Matt. 11:2-3). There may have been some competing interests between John and Jesus' disciples.
No where...James the brother of John was beheaded in Jerusalem!
