The first-century Jewish historian, Josephus, agrees that John was arrested and also executed for criticising Antipas, but tells us that the wedding did not take place until 34 CE. Josephus also links the Jewish reaction to the execution of John to the attack on Antipas by King Aretas in 36 CE. Thus, we can reliably say that John the Baptist died in 35 or 36 CE.
If the gospels are correct in saying that John the Baptist was already preaching in 29 CE, then he must have been preaching for at least six or seven years, but it is not possible to say more than this.

How does the beginning of Mark's Gospel compare to the beginning of the other Gospels?
A:Scholars have demonstrated that the Gospel of Mark was the first gospel to be written, and that the other gospels were based, directly or indirectly on Mark, rather than being written as independent records. Mark begins the story of Jesus with the story of John the Baptist, followed by the baptism of Jesus. Each of the other gospels provides an elaboration before this account, but otherwise begins with much the same story of John the Baptist. Matthew precedes the story of John the Baptist with the genealogy of Jesus, back through his father Joseph and grandfather Jacob, followed by the story of the birth of Jesus, the flight from Bethlehem to Egypt and the later journey to a new home in Nazareth.Luke adds a further elaboration, linking Jesus and John the Baptist through Elizabeth, a cousin of Mary. After telling the story of the birth of John, Luke then tells of the birth of Jesus and of their return to their home in Nazareth. In this account, the family had no fear of Herod or his son, Archelaus, so as pious Jews they travelled each year to Jerusalem for the Passover. The genealogy of Jesus is placed after the story of John the Baptist and the baptism of Jesus, but in this case, the father of Joseph is called Heli.John does not give us a nativity story or a genealogy, but instead precedes the story off John the Baptist by a declaration that the Word was in the beginning with God and the Word was God.
Were the sons of Zebedee also disciples of John the Baptist?
The sons of Zebedee, James and John, were known as the 'sons of thunder' possibly because they were beligerent teenagers! They were called by Jesus to be disicples, and followed him during his three-year mission. John went on to be the disciple closest to Jesus, took Jesus' mother into his own home after the crucifixion, and ended up the writer of the fourth Gospel, letters in the New Testament bearing his name, and the Revelation of John - the last book of the Bible - the latter written whilst in exile on the Greek island of Patmos.John the Baptist was reasonably closely related to Jesus; we are told that John's mother was a 'relative' of Mary, although some translations use the word 'cousin'. Therefore, Jesus and John were, at least, second cousins if not closer.In a tight-knit community that the Jews enjoyed in those days it is therefore inconceivable that James and John did not know John the Baptist, and, as Jesus referred to him many times, they would certaibly have known about his teaching. Moreover, Jesus also refers to John's disciples on some occasions, as if they are different people from his own.Despite his knowledge of John the Baptist's teachings, in all of John's writings there is absolutely no evidence that he was ever a follower of John the Baptist. That does not mean to say that he categorically did not follow him (at least until Jesus came along), but if he did, one would think that he would have made at least passing comment of the fact in his writings - but there is absolutely no mention. So the conclusion must be drawn that John (and presumably his brother James) were never followers of John the Baptist.
