それゆえに、Johnは、聖霊が下るお方を見分けるために、水を使う洗礼の儀式をする必要があったのです。 したがって、Johnは、神の権威に基づいて、イスラエルの民に洗礼を授けていたのです
Johnは、約束の救い主が出現すれば、すべての使命を果たして、声のように消えるのです。実際、【Mathew:14:1-12】にあるように、Johnは、Herod the tetrarchに捕らえられ、首を切られ、生涯を終わります。
Therefore, John had to perform baptism with water to identify him to whom the Spirit came down. For that reason, John was baptizing the people of Israel under the authority of God.
When the promised savior appeared, John fulfilled his mission and disappeared like a voice. In fact, as written in 【Mathew:14:1-12】, John was captured by Herod the Tetrarch, beheaded and ended his life.
