Best Answer

There is no book by the name of John in the Old Testament, nor is the name John mentioned in the Old Testament. The name John is a Greek name that comes from a Hebrew name. The Greek is Ἰωάννης which is pronounced ee-o-an'-nace and the Hebrew name it comes from is יוחנן which is pronounced yo-khaw-nawn'. So it is possible that the Hebrew equivalent of the name John does exist in the Old Testament.

How would the ministry of John the Baptist differ from the ministry of Jesus?

John the Baptist's ministry was to prepare the way of the Lord and to introduce Jesus to the world as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. John's ministry was prophesied in the Old Testament (Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6) and he fulfilled it by establishing the baptism of repentance and the introducing Jesus to the world. Jesus' ministry mainly was to be the Lamb of God that John the Baptist prophesied about Jesus. To accomplish this ministry Jesus died for the sins of the world as prophesied by Old Testament prophets (Eg: Isaiah 53). To fulfill His ministry to die for the mankind, Jesus went through all the stages of human development (born, lived among people, etc) to be an ideal substitute for a human.
