The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus also relates in his Book "Antiquities of the Jews" that Herod killed John, stating that he did so, "lest the great influence John had over the people might put it into his power and inclination to raise a rebellion, (for they seemed ready to do any thing he should advise), so Herod thought it best to put him to death."
WI A Jewish rebellion against Herod Antypas (and subsequently against Roman authority) erupted then? Would anyone listened to Jesus's teaching or he would be ignored amidst war?
