Did John the Baptist write the book of John and 2 John?
No. The book known as John's Gospel was originally anonymous, so we will never really know who wrote it, but certainly the author was not John the Baptist. Late in the second century, the fourth gospel was attributed to the apostle John.
What qualified John the Baptist to write one of the Gospels?
John the Baptist is not credited with writing any gospel.
In the synoptic gospel of John is John the Baptist the same person?
No. John the Baptist did not write any books in the New Testament.
Why does all the bible text say the Book of John and John the Baptist?
They don't. It says The Gospel According to John. John the Baptist did not author any books in the Bible.
How many books did John the Baptist write?
John the Baptist was not one of the writers of the New Testament. The fourth gospel is ascribed to the Apostle John and so is the book of Revelation or Apocalypse. John the apostle however is a different person than John the baptist.
Was John's Gospel written by John the Baptist?
A:We know nothing about the author of Revelation, except that his name was John. At one stage, it was thought that he was the apostle John, but that is no longer the view of scholars. According to the Jewish historian, Josephus, it appears that John the Baptist died in 35 or very early in 36 CE, far too early to have written the Book of Revelation, which appears to have been written no earlier than the end of the century.Answer:Professor J.M. Ford, who wrote the entry on REVELATION for the "Anchor Bible Commentary," is among a minority of scholars who claim that John the Baptist wrote REVELATION, or at least REVELATION chapters 4 through 11. Although John the Baptist died before Jesus died, that is irrelevant, since John's writings could easily have been preserved for generations. The tell-tale markings, for Ford, are the Jewish end-of-world ideas that flourish in the book, and the hope for The One to Come, along with harsh words for the current generation. This matches the preaching of John the Baptist to a "T".
Was Jesus talking to John the Baptist when he said 'behold thy mother'?
The story of the disciple, at the foot of the cross occurs only in John's Gospel. The other gospels say that Mary and those of Jesus' acquaintance stood afar off, leaving no room for Mary or any disciple to be near the cross. During the second century, the Church Fathers also wondered who this disciple was, whom Jesus loved. They noticed that the apostle John was never mentioned in this gospel, although John was one of the most important disciples in the other gospels. They then came to the conclusion that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' must have been John. They took this a step further. The gospel had been written anonymously and they needed to establish, to their own satisfaction, who probably wrote it. They surmised that the author, out of modesty, had chosen not to write about himself in the book and that this gospel was written by the same disciple, John. In fact, we do not know who wrote this gospel, in spite of it now being called John's Gospel, and we do not know who the author had in mind when he wrote of the 'disciple whom Jesus loved'. The unnamed disciple was not John the Baptist, the apostle John or any real person. He was really a literary creation of the Gospel's author, as evidenced by the quite contradictory stories in the other gospels.
Which gospel has the birth of John the Baptist?
A:Luke's Gospel contains a story about the birth of John the Baptist. This is almost certainly apocryphal, and Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) says that the proof Elisabeth was legendary is the historically more credible report in John that Jesus and John the Baptist did not know each other. We know nothing about the actual birth of John the Baptist, which is not reported in any gospel.
Where there any only children in the bible?
Samson in the book of Judges, John the Baptist as accounted in the Gospel of Luke. Both were consecrated to God for mighty purposes.
What were the reactions of the people when Jesus was baptised?
The earliest gospel and source for the later gospels, the Gospel of Mark, reports no reaction by either John the Baptist or the crowd who saw the baptism. This is not surprising, because Jesus had not yet performed any miracles and John did not know that Jesus was the messiah he prophesied. Only Jesus saw the heavens open and a dove descend on him. Matthew's Gospel says that John the Baptist realised who Jesus was, and forbade him to be baptised, but Jesus insisted. Again, there was no reaction from the crowd. Luke's Gospel says that John the Baptist was the cousin of Jesus, but does not report any reluctance by John to baptise Jesus. There is no reaction by the crowd. John's Gospel, which portrays Jesus as God, does not actually report whether he was actually baptised, but this is implied. There is no reaction of the crowd reported, but this time John actually saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and knew it was Jesus.
What passages from Scripture or other Bible sources point to John who wrote John's Gospel being a priest?
A:There is nothing in any Bible source that mentions the author of John's Gospel being a priest. In fact, the Bible does not even tell us who actually wrote this gospel, because the original text was anonymous. It was only later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were trying to establish who, in their opinions, wrote the four gospels, that it was decided to attribute the fourth gospel to the apostle John. Even if John had been the author, there is nothing in scripture to suggest that he was a priest.
Did John the Baptist have any disabilities?
No.
