135:10.1 Since [[Jesus]] had gone north into [[Galilee]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] felt led to retrace his steps southward. Accordingly, on Sunday morning, March 3, John and the remainder of his [[disciples]] began their [[journey]] south. About one quarter of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John]'s [[immediate]] followers had meantime departed for [[Galilee]] in quest of [[Jesus]]. There was a sadness of [[confusion]] about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John]. He never again preached as he had before [[baptizing]] [[Jesus]]. He somehow felt that the [[responsibility]] of the coming kingdom was no longer on his shoulders. He felt that his work was almost finished; he was disconsolate and lonely. But he preached, [[baptized]], and journeyed on southward.
135:10.2 Near the village of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Adam Adam], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] tarried for several weeks, and it was here that he made the memorable [[attack]] upon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod Antipas] for unlawfully taking the [[wife]] of another man. By June of this year ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26_AD A.D. 26]) John was back at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethabara Bethany] ford of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_river Jordan], where he had begun his preaching of the coming kingdom more than a year previously. In the weeks following the [[baptism]] of [[Jesus]] the [[character]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John]'s preaching [[gradually]] [[changed]] into a [[proclamation]] of [[mercy]] for the common people, while he denounced with renewed [[vehemence]] the corrupt [[political]] and [[religious]] rulers.
135:10.3 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod Antipas], in whose territory [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] had been preaching, became alarmed lest he and his [[disciples]] should start a [[rebellion]]. Herod also resented John's [[public]] [[criticisms]] of his [[domestic]] affairs. In view of all this, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] [[decided]] to put [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist John] in [[prison]]. Accordingly, very early in the morning of June 12, before the multitude arrived to hear the preaching and [[witness]] the [[baptizing]], the [[agents]] of Herod placed John under [[arrest]]. As weeks passed and he was not released, his [[disciples]] scattered over all [[Palestine]], many of them going into [[Galilee]] to join the followers of [[Jesus]].
