Why was John the Baptist beheaded? | GotQuestions.org

Standing for truth literally cost John his head at dinner. Matthew 14 and Mark 6 on his execution reveal the heavy price of truth. Herod Antipas and Herodias used Salome to silence God's messenger, violently ending his earthly ministry. Yet, John stood firmly on Leviticus 18:16 in the ESV, enduring human wrath without ever compromising his faith. His quiet courage leaves a powerful legacy of trusting the Lord during the darkest trials.
