Are you asking for a date or just when in The Bible? I believe it talks about Christ's baptism in Matthew Chapter 3.

ALSO

In the last chapter of Matthew Jesus gives His disciples the "great commission". He tells them to make disciples and baptize them. This is where Jesus specifically says to baptize. Notice also that baptism is a believers baptism not the baptism of infants. A disciple is a person who has been trained/taught

Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

Baptism has been around for a long time. It was done even before Jesus came. So let me answer from a biblical answer. Baptism is the symbol where a person is identified with something or someone. It is true that John the Baptist baptized people but we we told in the bible that John's baptism was not enough. Jesus was the one who commissioned his disciples to go into the world baptizing people. These would be people where identified with Jesus and his gospel. Jesus gave baptism a new meaning and authority. That is why we baptize people in the churches. So to give a clear answer it would be Jesus to instituted baptism and it would be around 29-33 AD that he did so.

Three years before Jesus died on the cross. The authority to Baptize was given to John the Baptist.

He didn't. The recognition of the sacraments date around the 1500's and the Counsel of Trent of the Catholic Church.

Is there an occult significance for baptism?

When I hear this, or a similar, question asked I hear Angels singing the song "Here We Go Again." No, Christian Baptism is not, and has never been, an occult practice. Jesus Christ, himself, was Baptized and instituted the Sacrament; therefore, it is a "Christian" Practice (see Matthew 28:18-20). Even the author of the Anti-Catholic Bible Roman Catholicism, Loraine Boettner, dogmatically states that Christ instituted the Sacrament of Baptism (p.189).Here we have the classic similis hoc ergo propter hoc (Similar to this...therefore because of this) fallacy. Some ancient occultists and pagans may have had a practice that resembled baptism, somewhere in the timeline of history, but that does not mean that the Sacrament stems from those origins. To say that it does, is to imply that Christ Jesus was somehow involved with the Occult.
