20 also added this, above all, that he shut John up in prison.

John Baptizes Jesus

21 When all the people were baptized, ait came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.  
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am awell pleased.”

Luke 3:19-20

But Herod, etc.—See on Mark 6:14, etc. (Also see on Matthew 3:12.)

and for all the evils which Herod had done—important fact here only mentioned, showing how thoroughgoing was the fidelity of the Baptist to his royal hearer, and how strong must have been the workings of conscience in that slave of passion when, notwithstanding such plainness, he "did many things and heard John gladly" (Mark 6:20, Mark 6:26).
