| | The Christ by John E. Remsberg (Chapter 5) |
 | | Herod appealed to the Emperor Tiberius, who was his friend, and who ordered Vitellius, governor of Syria, to invade the dominions of Aretas and capture or slay him. |
 | | But Matthew (x, 3) and Mark (iii, 18) state that James the Less was "the son of Alpheus." According to John (compare John xix, 25 with Matthew xxvii, 56) Cleophas was their father. |
 | | Matthew (iii, 5) and Mark (1, 5) declare that John had baptized "Jerusalem and all Judea" It is admitted, both in the New Testament and by Christians, that Jesus made but few converts during his lifetime, and to assert or intimate that he and his disciples baptized more than John is preposterous. |
