John argues that depiction of Christ is possible because the invisible Word truly became visible in the Incarnation. - John of Damascus, Exposition of the Orthodox Faith II.3–4

John calls Israel to repentance; Jesus is baptized and receives the heavenly declaration of sonship. - John the Baptist's death in two narratives
Mark and Josephus both associate John's death with Herod Antipas, but explain the circumstances differently. Josephus names Machaerus and emphasizes the ruler's fear of John's influence over the crowds. - Jonah

Josephus produces the history that will become a central source for the revolt, the siege, and Jerusalem's destruction. Eusebius later quotes it extensively in Church History III. - Joshua
