Jesus never said anything but god spoke in the orm of he spirit a dove.
Jesus' sandals.
Because Jesus and John the baptist were first cousins.
John was born for a special purpose. Given the Holy Priesthood at the age of eight years, it was his mission to be the forerunner to Jesus Christ. He told the people of the Messiah's coming and to make the people ready to receive him. He was The Baptist and baptized the Christ. John was one of the greatest teachers ever to have lived during his lifetime.
The number is not given in the Bible, but there are two interesting verses that indicate that Jesus did not baptize anyone - See John 4.1 & 2 - When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
John the Baptist baptised Jews for forgiveness of sins. He was never a follower of Jesus, although the Gospels say that he foresaw the coming of Jesus. John, son of Zebedee, was a disciple and apostle of Jesus in the gospels. Many believe that he was the author of the fourth gospel, which is consequently known as John's Gospel. The gospel authors are generally called the 'evangelists'. Others point out that the fourth gospel was written anonymously and was only attributed to John late in the second century, on the basis of speculation. They say that the name of the fourth evangelist remains unknown.
A:The Christian gospels say that John baptised for the remission of sins, but the first-century Jewish historian Josephus actually says that he baptised for the purification of the body and not at all for the remission of sins.
AnswerThe answer is in the following: In the gospels, Jesus did not actually say John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah - we should not hypothesise about words not credited to JesusAccording to the gospels, Jesus met Elijah at his Transfiguration - there is no suggestion that the person he was meeting was also John the Baptist.
Jesus said that no-one greater had ever been born. (Luke 7:28)
Hard to say for sure who the first one was. John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin, was preaching and baptising 'in the wilderness' when Jesus came to him and asked him to baptise him in the name of the holy spirit.
AnswerThe gospel accounts say that John the Baptist was in no way envious of Jesus. His statement that he was not fit to untie the shoelaces of the one who would come, attests to that.Of course, it may be that John did not intend to herald the coming of Jesus, and that he had really founded a sect that was in competition with the Christians. If so, it would have been in the interests of the gospel authors to write a story that John was fervently awaiting Jesus and that he enthusiastically supported the Christian movement. The present-day Mandaeans say that John the Baptist founded their religion.
John the Baptist's job was to point out, herald the presence of Jesus. (Luke 7 :18-28).John called people to a baptism of repentance in preparation for the coming of Our Lord's public life.
There are many Johns in the New Testament, all had different things to say. But one John (the baptist) said: Behold the lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world. KJV John 1:29.
