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.

I find no where in Scriptures that John the Baptist performed any miracles or signs. However, it does say he was filled with the holy spirit from birth.

John the Baptist was born into a priestly race by both parents; his father Zacharias, and his mother, Elisabeth. (Luke 1:5) This seems to be his only authority.
