📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, John the Baptist was a prophet who prepared the way for Jesus by preaching repentance and baptizing people in the Jordan River, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about a forerunner. He was imprisoned by Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee, for publicly criticizing Herod's unlawful marriage to his brother’s wife, which created a pivotal shift in the biblical narrative. Following this event, Jesus began His public ministry in the region of Galilee, announcing the good news of God's kingdom as the fulfillment of God's promises.
