No. John the baptist was Jesus' cousin but he was never one of Jesus' disciples. John continued calling people to repentance until his imprisonment and death which are early on in the gospel accounts.
Peter was one of the earliest of Jesus' disciples, being led to Jesus by Andrew, a disciple of John the Baptizer. (Joh 1:35-42)
No. John the baptist came before Jesus, calling people to repent because some one greater (Jesus) was coming. The promised advocate was the Holy Spirit. Joh 14:26 The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you.
The fact that he was Filled with the Holy Spirit his entire life. He died a Martyr.
There are no actual words recorded which John spoke as he baptized Christ, only those which he spoke before, these I paraphrase. John said that it should have been Christ who should be baptizing John and not the other way round. He felt that he was not worthy to perform the ceremony.
Simon Peter was a very close follower of Jesus. His name was originally Simon, but Jesus also called him Peter, which means rock. Since there are two "Simon"s in Jesus' group of disciples, The one we are talking about is generally known as Simon Peter. He is recognized as the first Pope of the Catholic Church.
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem for the passover. Joh 12:14 Jesus found a donkey and rode on it, just as the scripture says, Joh 12:15 "Do not be afraid, city of Zion! Here comes your king, riding on a young donkey."
Joh 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "There is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!Joh 1:30 This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'A man is coming after me, but he is greater than I am, because he existed before I was born.'Joh 1:31 I did not know who he would be, but I came baptizing with water in order to make him known to the people of Israel."Joh 1:32 And John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and stay on him.Joh 1:33 I still did not know that he was the one, but God, who sent me to baptize with water, had said to me, 'You will see the Spirit come down and stay on a man; he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'Joh 1:34 I have seen it," said John, "and I tell you that he is the Son of God."This is Jesus' baptism as recorded in the gospel of John. John the baptist says in verse 34 "he is the son of God" he is talking about Jesus
Jesus didn't give us the father, but Jesus said to his disciples several times "if you have seen me you have seen the father".Joh 14:8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."Jesus showed them the father because he was God the very image of Him, and possessed of the same nature, attributes, and glory, so that a person who sees the one, sees the other:
In the King James version Jesus does..... * Joh 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus is referring to the Holy Spirit. Look also at these verses in John Joh 7:37 On the last and most important day of the festival Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, "Whoever is thirsty should come to me, and Joh 7:38 whoever believes in me should drink. As the scripture says, 'Streams of life-giving water will pour out from his side.' " Joh 7:39 Jesus said this about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were going to receive. At that time the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not been raised to glory.
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! and the following verses Jesus is talking to a Samaritan woman: Joh 4:25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah will come, and when he comes, he will tell us everything." Joh 4:26 Jesus answered, "I am he, I who am talking with you."
John the Baptist calls Jesus the 'lamb of God'. - Joh 1:29. Here Jesus is being directly likened to the passover lamb. The passover lamb had to be perfect with out blemish. Jesus was born without sin, he lived a sinless life. The passover lamb had to die and it's blood was shed to save Israel's first born from death. In the same way it was necessary for Jesus to die as payment for sin. The lamb's blood had to be painted on the the door frames to show God the people were trusting Him for salvation. Salvation is the same today through faith in Jesus and His death as the payment for our sin.
