WAS JOHN THE BAPTIST IN PRISON WHEN JESUS CAME TO GALILEE?
Mark 1:14  Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, (KJV)


Due to the length, I will not copy the text in, but I will acknowlege that in John 1, it describes Jesus coming into Galilee at a time when John the Baptist was apparently not in prison.

However, Jesus likely went to Galilee on more than one occasion, and while John was in prison one of the times that Jesus went to Galilee, John could be describing a different trip to Galilee at a time when John was not in prison.  Not a contradiction.
