Best Answer

A:

Although the gospel accounts tell us that John the Baptist was beheaded in Galilee, with Herod Antipas reluctant to order his death, the first-century Jewish historian Josephus says that he was actually executed in faraway Macherus on the direct orders of Herod, who feared that John could lead an insurrection. John the Baptist would have been buried in an anonymous grave by an unknown labourer under the command of Herod's soldiers.
