John the Baptist prophesied and told of Jesus. He told the people that Jesus was coming and who he was. We are here to witness of Jesus so that others can be saved and restored to God. I testify in street ministry, ministry to women in shelters, plus I testify with my life, walk, and talk and by living by the Word the best I can. John the Baptist was imprisoned and beheaded. When we testify clearly some people accept and some reject being saved. Sometimes people are very rejecting of God in not a nice way but we are not being improsoned or murdered by witnessing. One thing that happens is the joy for us for our obedience. People could be saved and restored to God, and also the Word says that one plants, one waters but God gives the increase. So at that time we may be a planter or a waterer and rejection or passive non acceptance is ok. We are doing as Jesus told us to be witness of him and compel men to come to Christ.
