John and Jesus are both also murdered unjustly for speaking the Word of God in an attempt to silence their calls to repentance. Here, too, John prepares the way for the One who is greater than he. His whole life and death is a finger that points us to Christ. John is beheaded for the sake of defending holy marriage. Jesus is crucified that He might claim all humanity anew and take each of us to be a part of His Bride, the Holy Church.
