I have changed it to something else, if you disagree, go ahead and revert, but please explain to me how a possible range for John the Baptist's death is 36, which is a couple of years after Jesus' death? Fringe theory, no?
Yes, that Samuel, who annointed Saul, David, and who knows what. Luke 1.5 says: "There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zechariah, of the course of Abia". I've mapped the whole bloody genealogy of the whole bloody Bible, and guess what. There is only 1 abia, and of significance. So this instead being some random throwaway line is actualy making the connection between Samuel and John the Baptiast, re-creating the annointing of David for Jesus, of course on the sidenote proving the Bible is entirely fictional. And yes, if you use this tidbit, you have to reference ME now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:AB88:370C:1480:5523:7C6:8948:49D (talk) 19:13, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
John’s camel hair clothing and leather belt are specifically included in Mark 1:6 to show him as the successor to Elijah, who wore the same garb in 2 Kings 1:18. We should correct the sentence that states Mark is silent on the parallel. Assuming the relevant passages are a sufficient source? 2603:8080:1601:7D90:F127:E09:131C:761E (talk) 18:34, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
