Baptist:
Flavius Joseph was governor of Galilee
at the outbreak of the Jewish War with Rome in 66AD and he explains that Herod
executed John because he was afraid of the Baptists enormous popularity among
the people. According to Joseph when the ordinary people gathered to hear John
their excitement reached fever pitch and Herod began to feel very ill at ease
lest this enthusiasm would lead to some revolt. So because of Herod's suspicion
John was sent to the fortress of Machaerus there to
be killed.
