John the Baptist was the "voice in the wilderness" that spoke of the coming messiah. John asked people to repent and baptized people in the Jordan river. When Jesus came to him, John told his followers to follow him instead. John said "he must increase and I must decrease".
John was an apostle of Jesus who traditionally wrote the Book of John (Fourth Gospel). John was the brother of James, known as the sons of Zebedee and also Sons of Thunder because they had tempers. John writes of John the Baptist in the Gospel starting with John 1:6.
