Text: Mark 6:14-29
Mark used the account of John the Baptist’s death to show the cost of discipleship and to foreshadow the death of Jesus.
I. Jesus is like John and John is like Jesus (v. 14-16)
II. John denounced Herod and Herod seized John (v. 17-20)
III. Herod bowed to pressure and John became a martyr (v. 21-29)
