Where is the first mention of John the Baptist?
As Scripture reveals, the first mention of John the Baptist was in the Old Testament, by the prophet Isaiah, as is so stated in Matthew 3:3, Luke 3:4, and John 1:23, and in the same book of Isaiah, the virgin birth of Jesus is mentioned as well. The specific New Testament references can be easily traced back to Isaiah 40:3, but the reference to John the Baptist can be found even earlier in Isaiah. In Isaiah chapter 8, God told Isaiah to take a large scroll and write what He would tell him. Isaiah had two witnesses to the writing, Uriah(Jehovah is my light) and Zechariah(Son of Jeberechiah/Barachias), whom Jesus said was martyred in Matthew 23:35, and is so written in the Protoevangelium of James, but most refuse to read about it. In any regard, once Isaiah was provided with the two witnesses(Isaiah 8:2), as was required by Mosaic Law(Deuteronomy 17:6 and other verses), Isaiah wrote in 8:3 specifically what God told him. In the original Hebrew, the direct translation of the beginning of verse 3 should read "I am coming unto the prophetess", and the I is not Isaiah, it was to be the angel Gabriel, who was sent by God. The prophetess isn't identified by name, and many wrongly assume that John took time out of his writing to go to her, impregnate her, wait nine months for the birth of a son, and then return to writing what God was telling him to write/prophesy/foretell, which is precisely what prophets do. Elisabeth became pregnant by Zacharias, her husband, and she bore the Son(Luke chapter 1). Isaiah just wrote about it, as he was told by God to do. John the Baptist's mother Elisabeth was a direct descendant of Aaron, who was the prophet of Moses(Exodus 7:1), as God declared. God was telling Isaiah in 8:3 that He would be coming to Elisabeth, a prophetess, and she would become pregnant and bear a son, and his name would be Mahershalalhashbaz, which literally means speedy is the prey and the spoil, and is precisely why John the Baptist himself said that "i must decrease, but He must increase"(John 3:30), when he was talking about Jesus, because common sense tells anyone that prey is hunted and killed, and the spoil is distributed and consumed by the victor. John was the prey and the spoil, and Jesus was the victor, who destroyed death by becoming the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. John the Baptist even told everyone that he was not the light, but only a witness to the light, as was foretold in Isaiah 8, and in the New Testament in John 1, specifically verse 7. In Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah wrote as God told him, concerning the virgin birth of Jesus, and he wrote it, because God spoke to Ahaz(he who understands), and Ahaz was told to ask for a sign, but he refused to tempt the Lord(Isaiah 7:12), which was very unlike the Jews mentioned in the New Testament, because they always wanted a sign(Matthew 12:38-39), and even His Apostles wanted Jesus to show them, as Philip asked in John 14:8, and Thomas wouldn't even believe that Jesus was raised from the dead(John 20:25). I could go on, but the Scripture is so wonderful that it is so much better if you read it for yourself and let the Holy Spirit guide you to the Truth of God's Word, as Jesus so stated in John 14:26. Another Answer: Chronologically, the first mention of John the Baptist comes before his birth, when his birth is foretold, in Luke 1:5 - 25. In the Gospels, the first mention is in Matthew 3:1 - "In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of Judea..."
