His Persecutor had Demanded Not That He Should Deny Christ,
But Only That He Should Keep Silent About The Truth.
HOW OFTEN DOES THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!

He said quoting the prophet Isaiah..."I am a voice in the desert, crying out Make straight the way of the Lord"" John 2:23

The crowds asked John the Baptist, "What are we to do?" In reply he said, "Whoever has two shirts must give one to the man who has none, and whoever has food must share it."

Tax collectors also came to be baptized and they said to him, "teach what are we to do?" He answered them, "Exact nothing over and above your fixed amount."

Soldiers likewise asked him "What about us?" He told them don’t bully anyone. Denounce no one falsely, be content with your pay."

The people were full of anticipation wondering in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah. John answered them all by saying "I am baptizing you in water, but there is one to come who is mightier than I. I am not fit to loosen His sandal strap. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire." Luke 3:10-16
