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)
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.
Luke 7:19 tells us that John :... sent them to the Lord to ask, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?"(NIV)
"Are you the Messiah or should he wait for another."
Matthew 11:2-3 "Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?"
To repent of their sins and be Baptized.
Behold the Lamb of GOd
A:In John's Gospel (verses 1:37-40), Andrew and another disciple left John the Baptist to follow Jesus. Andrew went to Peter's house to tell him about Jesus, and Peter then followed. In the synoptic gospels, none of John's disciples left him to follow Jesus. Peter and Andrew were chosen by Jesus as he walked by the Sea of Galilee and saw them fishing.
Tell them about Jesus and the judgment to come. All Christian's should do this.
Shortly after his triumphant entry into Jerusalem in the spring of 33 C.E., Jesus said: "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified." (John 12:23) Therefore, Jesus had no reason to tell his disciples to keep quiet.
John 19:26-27
in the bible it tell about them meeting when Mary and her sister are both pregnant but out of the belly, yes that was the first time John the Baptist saw 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).
He told them to go and make disciples.
Jesus told his disciples on a couple of occasions to tell no man of what they had seen - as in - Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. (Matthew 16.20) And - And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. (Matthew 17.9)
I can't find anywhere in the NT where Jesus told his disciples to bring their first fruits
Yes, according to the Bible, when Jesus was arrested, his disciples deserted him and fled. This is mentioned in the Gospel accounts of Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. However, some of them later returned and followed from a distance.
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.
Actually it was Jesus that told the women to tell his disciples meet him in Galilee, (Matthew 28.10)
