When and for what reason was John beheaded?
John was imprisoned for criticizing the immoral marriage of Herod to Herodias, his sister-in-law. When Herodias and her daughter, Salome, plotted together, they convinced Herod to kill John, although he was reluctant. The famous story is that Salome danced for the king and his friends, and Herod said she could have whatever she wanted, so she asked for John's head on a platter. Herod gave it to her.The Jewish historian Josephus tells us what probably did happen. He says that Herod Antipas had the Baptist arrested and killed in the castle of Macherus, east of the Dead Sea, because he disapproved of Antipas' marriage to his own brother's wife, who divorced her husband in order to marry Herod Antipas. The wedding took place in 34 CE and the execution of John would have been in 35 or 36 CE. The relevant text from Book 18 of Antiquities of the Jews:"Now many people came in crowds to him, for they were greatly moved by his words. Herod, who feared that the great influence John had over the masses might put them into his power and enable him to raise a rebellion (for they seemed ready to do anything he should advise), thought it best to put him to death. In this way, he might prevent any mischief John might cause, and not bring himself into difficulties by sparing a man who might make him repent of it when it would be too late. Accordingly John was sent as a prisoner, out of Herod's suspicious temper, to Macherus, the castle I already mentioned, and was put to death."
What was the political situation in Palestine at the time of Jesus?
A:King Herod's father was an Idumean and he became king of Judea and surrounding territories because of Roman military support. As a result, Herod was never accepted by his Jewish subjects. The Jewish historian, Josephus, lists several rebel leaders in Galilee around the time Jesus was born, as well as others in Judea. Herod knew the risks they posed, as he constructed a ring of forts all around his kingdom so that wherever he was he had a safe haven nearby. After the death of King Herod in April 4 BCE, he left it to the Romans to decide the future of his kingdom, but proposed that it be broken up among three of his sons. Archelaus received Judea, Samaria and Idumea, but only as tetrarch not as king. Antipas became tetrarch of Galilee, as well as receiving the area of Macherus, east of the Dead Sea. Philip received the territories east of the River Jordan.Archelaus was a disastrous ruler and was deposed and exiled by the Romans after just ten years. A prefect was appointed for Judea and Quirinius was sent to govern Syria in 6 CE, with instructions to conduct a census in Judea in order to regulate taxes.A string of Roman rulers followed in Judea, and Pontius Pilate seems to have been one of the most unpopular among the Jews. Shortly after his arrival in Judea, Pilate transferred a new military unit to Jerusalem. These units had portraits of the emperor among their insignia, while Jewish law at the time prohibited the representation of human or animal figures. The operation was obviously carried out with some discretion: the new garrison arrived by night and their banners were kept covered. But when Pilate's action became known, the Jews erupted in anger, as they could not tolerate these images near the Temple. Pilate was forced to withdraw the unit.In Galilee, Antipas fell in love with Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, and she agreed to divorce Philip and marry Antipas. As a pagan, Antipas could have only one wife, but was already married to the daughter of King Aretas of the Nabateans. Antipas divorced her and married Herodias in 34 CE. This incensed a popular Jewish preacher, John the Baptist, who publicly criticised the marriage and was later imprisoned and executed in the castle of Macherus, to prevent him from inciting an uprising. King Aretas was also incensed at the insult to his daughter whom Antipas had divorced in order to marry his brother's wife, and attacked Galilee in 36 CE, leading the Jews to believe that this was God's way of punishing Antipas for the death of John the Baptist.
Who was in charge of the Jews in Jesus time?
It is thought that Jesus was born in 7-2 B.C. and died in 30-33 A.D. From 37-4 B. C. the land of the Jews was ruled by Herod the Great as a client state of Rome. Herod the Great ordered the killing of all boys of the age of two and under in Bethlehem and its vicinity because he wanted Jesus dead. From 4 B.C. to 6 A.D Judea, Samaria and Idumea were ruled by Herod Archelaus, one of the sons of Herod the Great. In 6 A.D. on the request of the Jews, the emperor Augustus deposed Herod Archelaus and annexed Judea, Samaria and Idumea to the Roman Empire.

Herodias, the sister-in-law, then wife, of Herod.Mark 6:14-29 is the account in question. Herod married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip (something that John spoke out against). Herodias then wanted John dead, so when her daughter (probably Solome) from her previous marriage, was asked to dance, Herodias asked her to request the head of John as payment.

Did Herod Antipas respect John the Baptist?
A:In the gospel accounts, Herod Antipas held a party in Galilee for the senior men. The daughter of his new wife, Herodias, entranced him with her dancing and he offered to give her anything she wanted. Herodias wanted John the Baptist dead for criticising her marriage to Antipas, after divorcing Philip, so she told her daughter to ask for John's head on a platter. Herod Antipas was loathe to have John killed, but was forced to keep his promise. The gospels suggest that Herod Antipas' reluctance was due to his respect for John. The historical account, provided by Josephus, is somewhat different. The gospel account is correct in that John the Baptist had publicly criticised Antipas' marriage to Herodias, which took place in 34 CE. But Herod himself had wanted John killed, lest he start an uprising among the people of Galilee. Herod Antipas' respect for John the Baptist was out of fear for the hold he had over the people and the damage John could do by continuing to criticise him. Herod's respect was such that wanted John dead as quickly as possible, in faraway Macherus where the execution could take place without causing a riot. In the historical account, there was no party in Galilee and no head on a platter. The relevant text from Book 18 of Antiquities of the Jews says:"Now many people came in crowds to him, for they were greatly moved by his words. Herod, who feared that the great influence John had over the masses might put them into his power and enable him to raise a rebellion (for they seemed ready to do anything he should advise), thought it best to put him to death. In this way, he might prevent any mischief John might cause, and not bring himself into difficulties by sparing a man who might make him repent of it when it would be too late. Accordingly John was sent as a prisoner, out of Herod's suspicious temper, to Macherus, the castle I already mentioned, and was put to death."
Why was John the Baptist put in jail by herod?
According to the record in Scriptures, Herod Antipas was unsure of what was happening when Jesus had begun His healing ministry and was sending forth His disciples to minister. At first He superstitiously thought it was John the Baptist, "risen from the dead," for he had murdered him.In Mark 6:17,18, we have the most complete record of the reason for the imprisonment: "For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."One day Herodias' daughter (often named Salome), danced before Herod on his birthday in front of his entourage of leaders. Herod was so pleased, that he promised Salome "Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom." (v. 23). Because his illegal wife hated John, she conspired with her daughter to ask for his head. Therefore, although "the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her. And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison," (vv. 26,27).When others were speculating who Jesus was to Herod, the Scripture says: " But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead." (v. 16). This was after he had murdered John in prison. John had begun his ministry "in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar (27 A.D., as in Luke 3:1). According to Matthew 4:12, John had been imprisoned just before Jesus began His own public ministry, calling His disciples. Christ had trained His disciples, and sometime before He fed the five thousand, he began ministering around Galilee, when Herod Antipas noticed, thinking it was John, risen from the dead.Therefore, John had been dead for some short time, as recorded in: Matthew 14:1; Mark 6:14; Luke 9:7. All the early church Fathers agree to 2 B.C. as the birth of Christ, or the 41st year of Caesar Augustus reign. Jesus started His ministry in His 30th year, according to Luke 3:23. Therefore, His crucifixion was in 32 A.D. John the Baptist was imprisoned circa 29/30 A.D. He was undoubtedly beheaded within a year, about the time that Christ went up to Galilee.AnswerMatthew 14:3-5 (The Message)Herod had arrested John, put him in chains, and sent him to prison to placate Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. John had provoked Herod by naming his relationship with Herodias "adultery." Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid because so many people revered John as a prophet of God.John the Baptist told Herod he couldn't have a relationship with Herodias, because Herodias was Herod's brother's wife, and that would be adultery. That's why Herod put John in jail. He wanted to kill him, but he was afraid to, because people thought of him as a prophet of God. However, because of Herodias's trick, Herod ends up having to behead John later. (verses 6-12)Another Answer:John the Baptist was imprisoned as a result of his own actions. He was willing to sacrifice his freedom and then his life because of what he believed.John had publicly criticised Herod Antipas for his marriage to Herodias, the former wife of Antipas' own brother, which John said was immoral. The wedding took place in 34 CE and John was executed in 35 or early 36 CE on the orders of Herod Antipas, out of fear that he was stirring the Jews up for rebellion. The relevant text from Book 18 of Antiquities of the Jews by the first-century Jewish historian, Josephus: "Now many people came in crowds to him, for they were greatly moved by his words. Herod, who feared that the great influence John had over the masses might put them into his power and enable him to raise a rebellion (for they seemed ready to do anything he should advise), thought it best to put him to death. In this way, he might prevent any mischief John might cause, and not bring himself into difficulties by sparing a man who might make him repent of it when it would be too late. Accordingly John was sent as a prisoner, out of Herod's suspicious temper, to Macherus, the castle I already mentioned, and was put to death."
Who demanded the head of John the Baptist?
Salome was the one who asked of King Herod the head of John the Baptist. Salome had pleased Herod by dancing before him and Herod asked her to choose a reward, even if it be have his kingdom. Salome consulted with her mother, Herodias, with whom Herod was having an affair. Angered by John's public condemnation of this adulterous affair, Herodias told Salome to ask for John's head. You can read this account in the Bible in St. Matthew 14:6-8. Of interest, tradition records that Salome had a bad end, accidentally becoming impaled on a wedge of ice during an elaborate banquet.
