John the baptist was 30 years old when he Baptised Jesus.

Jesus 30 years and John the baptist is 6 months elder than Jesus Christ.

So, this is true.

I think John the baptist beheaded at the age of 32-33 years. Why, because of Jesus Christ formed his disciples and ministry developed after death of baptist.

Luke 3:21-23 - When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, [NKJV]

According to the gospel account, Jesus would have been around thirty years of age. However, the first-century Jewish historian Josephus tells us that John the Baptist died in 35 or 36 CE. If Jesus died in 30-33 CE as traditionally supposed, there is clearly a problem with the gospel account, since Jesus would already have been dead and resurrected before John the Baptist died.

Luke says that John was born a little before Jesus. In turn, Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great, 4 BCE or earlier. In fact, Matthew seems to think that Jesus was born some years before the death of Herod. Based on this information, John was at least 34 years old and possibly much older.
