المسيح يطلب من يوحنا أن يعمده

في المسيحية كان يوحنا المعمدان يعمّد الناس اي يغسلهم في نهر الأردن للتوبة من الخطايا.

لما بلغ السيد المسيح سن الثلاثين ذهب لنهر الأردن وإعتمد من يوحنا المعمدان »حِينَئِذٍ جَاءَ يَسُوعُ مِنَ الْجَلِيلِ إِلَى الْأُرْدُنِّ إِلَى يُوحَنَّا لِيَعْتَمِدَ مِنْهُ. وَلكِنْ يُوحَنَّا مَنَعَهُ قَائِلاً: »أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ أَنْ أَعْتَمِدَ مِنْكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَأْتِي إِلَيَّ!« فَقَالَ يَسُوعُ لَهُ: » اسْمَحِ الْآنَ، لِأَنَّهُ هكَذَا يَلِيقُ بِنَا أَنْ نُكَمِّلَ كُلَّ بِرٍّ«. حِينَئِذٍ سَمَحَ لَهُ. فَلَمَّا اعْتَمَدَ يَسُوعُ صَعِدَ لِلْوَقْتِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ، وَإِذَا السَّمَاوَاتُ قَدِ انْفَتَحَتْ لَهُ، فَرَأَى رُوحَ اللّهِ نَازِلاً مِثْلَ حَمَامَةٍ وَآتِياً عَلَيْهِ، وَصَوْتٌ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ قَائِلاً: » هذَا هُوَ ابْنِي الْحَبِيبُ الَّذِي بِهِ سُرِرْتُ« (متى 3:13-17)[7].

القديس يوحنا المعمدان، لوحة لتيتيان، 1542 م


قطع رأسه

تزوج الملك هيرودس من هيروديا زوجة أخيه. وكان هيرودس يخاف يوحنا إذ قال له بأنه لايجوز زواجه بزوجة أخيه فهذا لايحل له. لذلك، سجن هيرودس يوحنا وكانت هيروديا حاقدة على يوحنا من ذلك وفي عيد ميلاد المك هيرودس دعا العظماء والقواد لعشاء فاخر ودخلت ابنة هيروديا لترقص فسرّ هيرودس الملك والمتكئين معه وقال الملك لها أطلبي ما تشائين وسوف يتحقق حتى ولو نصف مملكتي وأقسم على هذا أمام الجمع فخرجت الصبية لعند أمها وتشاورت معها وطلبت رأس يوحنا المعمدان على طبق فحزن الملك جداً لأجل القسم. وأرسل الملك سيافاً وأمره أن يأتي برأس يوحنا. وأتي برأسه للصبية، والصبية بدورها أعطته لأمها [5].

John is also honored as a prophet in Islam as Yaḥyā ibn Zakarīyā (العربية: يحيى بن زكريا‎), or "John, son of Zechariah". He is believed by Muslims to have been a witness to the word of God, and a prophet who would herald the coming of Jesus.[8] His father Zechariah was also an Islamic prophet. Islamic tradition maintains that John was one of the prophets whom Muhammad met on the night of the Mi'raj,[9] his ascension through the Seven Heavens. It is said that he met John and Jesus in the second heaven, where Muhammad greeted his two 'brothers' before ascending with archangel Gabriel to the third heaven. John's story was also told to the Abyssinian king during the Muslim refugees' Migration to Abyssinia.[10] According to the Qur'an, John was one on whom God sent peace on the day that he was born and the day that he died.[11]

In the Qur'an

Tomb of Yahya Nabi, Umayyad Mosque, Damascus

In the Qur'an, God frequently mentions Zechariah's continuous praying for the birth of a son. Zechariah's wife, mentioned in the New Testament as Elizabeth, was barren and therefore the birth of a child seemed impossible.[12] As a gift from God, Zechariah (or Zakariya) was given a son by the name of "Yaḥya", a name specially chosen for this child alone. In accordance with Zechariah's prayer, God made John and Jesus, who according to exegesis was born six months later,[13] renew the message of God, which had been corrupted and lost by the Israelites. As the Qur'an says:

(His prayer was answered): "O Zakariya! We give thee good news of a son: His name shall be Yahya: on none by that name have We conferred distinction before."
He said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have grown quite decrepit from old age?"
He said: "So (it will be) thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: I did indeed create thee before, when thou hadst been nothing!'"
(Zakarya) said: "O my Lord! give me a Sign." "Thy Sign," was the answer, "Shall be that thou shalt speak to no man for three nights."

— Qur'an, sura 19 (Maryam), verse 7[14]


Festivity

In many Mediterranean countries, the summer solstice is dedicated to St. John. The associated ritual is very similar to midsummer celebrations in the Anglo-Saxon tradition.

Locations, churches, and other establishments in his name

According to Armenian tradition, the remains of John the Baptist were laid to rest by Gregory the Illuminator at the Saint Karapet Monastery.[15][16]
