Matthew 3:13-15 records:

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented. (NIV)

AnswerThe gospels each tell of John's response a little differently:

The original gospel, the Gospel of Mark, and the Gospel of Luke simply say that Jesus was baptised by John.

The Gospel of Matthew says that John sought to refuse to baptise Jesus, saying that Jesus should baptise him, John.

The Gospel of John is ambivalent about whether John actually baptised Jesus at all. This is implied when it says that John saw the Spirit descend from heaven as a dove. John told others that because of the dove he knew Jesus to be the Son of God. The theme that Jesus is the Son of God is repeated throughout John's Gospel.

Did John the Bapitist betray Jesus?

John the Baptist prepared the way for the teaching of Jesus and died a martyr for his faith. Jesus said of John the Baptist in Luke 7:28 - "I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John". It was Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus (see Luke chapter 22).


Did Jesus' disciples desert Jesus and flee?

Yes, most of the disciples deserted Jesus at the time of His arrest. The gospel of Matthew tells us this in chapter 26 verse 34 that "all the disciples deserted Jesus and fled". The Gospel pf Matthew was written by Matthew one of the twelve disciples, so as one who fled it appeared to him that all the disciples had deserted Jesus and fled. All four gospels tell us that the traitorous disciple, Judas, went and hung himself after betraying Jesus. But of the remaining 11 disciples the gospel of John tells us in chapter 18 verse 15 that the two disciples John and Peter followed Jesus and the solders to the High Priest's house and entered the courtyard there because John knew the High Priest, and that in John chapter 19 verse John was at the crucifixion and given care of Jesus' mother. So nine of the twelve disciples fled, one followed but fled in disgrace [Peter], one followed and was at the crucifixion [John ], and one hung himself [Judas]

What would have happened if Peter had not gone to the tomb of Jesus?

In fact, Peter only went to the tomb of Jesus in Luke and John, which are interdependent gospels. In Matthew, Jesus told the women to tell the disciples to go to Galilee, where he would meet them. Peter did not go to the tomb. In the "Long Ending" to Mark, the women told the disciples that Jesus had risen, but they did not believe. None of the disciples went to the tomb.
