John the Baptist was now in prison, arrested by Herod for haranguing him about his illegal marriage for Herod had married the wife of his brother, Philip. Stories began to filter back to John about Jesus and his popularity, so he sent two of his disciples to Jesus to find out for themselves what was going on. When they found Jesus a huge crowd surrounded him.
Nathan: Jesus! Jesus of Nazareth! Your cousin sent us to find you! He has a question for you.
Jesus: John? How is he? Is he surviving in prison? Is he all right?
Nathan: He has a question for you.

Nathan: He’s concerned about you.
Jesus: Me?
