His birth, name and office for foretold to his father Zacharias, when he was performing his functions as a priest in the temple of Jerusalem. Zacharias was a priest of the course of Abia (1 Chr. 24:10), and his mother, Elisabeth, was of the Daughters of Aaron (Luke 1:5). Because of this descent, John held the priesthood of Aaron, giving him the authority to perform baptisms of God. John was in the possession of one of the Staves of Eden, which he used to start his ministry. After him, Saint Peter would take the Staff and use it to spread the religion of Christianity. During the Renaissance, the famed polymath Leonardo da Vinci painted a portrait of John the Baptist, modeled after his apprentice, Salaì. A few other paintings of John were displayed in Ezio Auditore da Firenze's painting galleries, often depicting him with Jesus. Saint John the Baptist was a Human of the Jewish faith that lived on Earth between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD. According to Christian tradition, John baptized Jesus Christ. John the Baptist was depicted in Leonardo da Vinci's last painting St. John the Baptist. The painting was found among the relics in Kathryn Janeway's da Vinci holodeck program. (VOY: "Scientific Method") John the Baptist (Hebrew: יוחנן המטביל, Yo-hanan ha-matbil, Arabic: يحيى Yahyá or يوحنا Yūhannā al-mamadan, Aramaic: ܝܘܚܢܢ Yokhanan) was an itinerant preacher and a major religious figure who led a movement of Baptism at the Jordan River. John was an historical figure who lived until the year 36 CE and followed the example of previous Hebrew prophets, living austerely, challenging sinful rulers, calling for repentance, and promising God's justice. John is regarded as a prophet in Christianity, Islam, the Bahá'í Faith, and Mandaeism. John the Baptist was a preacher sent by God to prepare the people of Israel for the coming of Jesus Christ and to witness and verify Him as the Messiah. He was born to Zechariah and Elizabeth, despite their both being past the age of reproduction. As an adult, John lived the life of a recluse, preferring the wilderness to life in the city. He war rough garments and ate the food found in the wilderness. But, when he spoke, crowds flocked out hear him. The analogies are too sweet and too obvious to be sullied about here.

The analogies are too sweet and too obvious to be sullied about here. John was in the possession of one of the Staves of Eden, which he used to start his ministry. After him, Saint Peter would take the Staff and use it to spread the religion of Christianity.

John the Baptist was a preacher sent by God to prepare the people of Israel for the coming of Jesus Christ and to witness and verify Him as the Messiah. He was born to Zechariah and Elizabeth, despite their both being past the age of reproduction. As an adult, John lived the life of a recluse, preferring the wilderness to life in the city. He war rough garments and ate the food found in the wilderness. But, when he spoke, crowds flocked out hear him. Though he was popular, he pointed forward to someone he considered much better than himself: the promised Messiah. Once his main duty had passed, he continued to act as a prophet, announcing God's judgment on the leadership in Jerusalem. This lead to his being thrown into prison, where he continued to preach against the sin of the one who had had him thrown into prison. His preaching against the king's relationship with his brother's wife. It was she who had him beheaded. John the Baptist (Hebrew: יוחנן המטביל, Yo-hanan ha-matbil, Arabic: يحيى Yahyá or يوحنا Yūhannā al-mamadan, Aramaic: ܝܘܚܢܢ Yokhanan) was an itinerant preacher and a major religious figure who led a movement of Baptism at the Jordan River. John was an historical figure who lived until the year 36 CE and followed the example of previous Hebrew prophets, living austerely, challenging sinful rulers, calling for repentance, and promising God's justice. John is regarded as a prophet in Christianity, Islam, the Bahá'í Faith, and Mandaeism. Some scholars maintain that he was influenced by the Essenes, who were semi-ascetic, expected an apocalypse, and practiced rituals conferring strongly with baptism, although there is no direct evidence to substantiate this. John's baptism was a purification rite for repentant sinners, performed in "living water" (in this case a running river) in accord with Jewish custom. John anticipated a messianic figure who would be greater than himself. Jesus was among those whom John baptized. Jesus may have been a follower of John. Herod Antipas saw John as a threat and had him executed. Many Christian theologians believe that the ministry of Jesus followed John's, and some of Jesus' early followers had previously been followers of John. Both John and Jesus reportedly preached at times of great political, social, and religious conflict. Accounts of John in the New Testament are not incompatible with the account in Josephus, whose authority is respected. In the New Testament Jesus is the one whose coming John foretold. Herod has John imprisoned for denouncing his marriage, and he is later executed. Christians commonly refer to John as the precursor or forerunner of Jesus, since in the Gospels, John announces Jesus' coming. He is also identified with the prophet Elijah, and is described by the Gospel of Luke as a relative of Jesus (Jesus' mother, the Virgin Mary, was a cousin to John's mother, Elizabeth). Because Scripture described John as endowed with prenatal grace, the feast day of his birth (June 24) became celebrated more solemnly than that marking his martyrdom (August 29). In art, John's head often appears on a platter because that is what Herod's stepdaughter, Salome, is said to have asked for. A theme of Christian art is the Beheading of St. John the Baptist. He is also depicted as an ascetic wearing camel hair and with a staff and scroll inscribed "Ecce Agnus Dei", or bearing a book or dish with a lamb on it. In Orthodox icons, he often has angel's wings, since Mark 1:2 describes him as ἄγγελος (angelos) (messenger).
