∙ 11y agoJohn the Baptist's name is mentioned in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts. He is also prophesied (no name given) to Malachi in Malachi 3:1 where God foretells of his birth and ministry.
Malachi 3:1 (NKJV)
"Behold, I send My messenger,
And he will prepare the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek,
Will suddenly come to His temple,
Even the Messenger of the covenant,
In whom you delight.
Behold, He is coming,"
Says the Lord of hosts.

All the New Testament gospels talk about John the Baptist. The original account in Mark's Gospel is fairly terse, running to just 10 verses, including the baptism of Jesus. As we now know, this was copied and elaborated by the authors of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. John's Gospel once again abbreviates the account, altogether omitting the baptism of Jesus except in retrospect, but making Andrew a disciple of John.

Who was Jesus related to according to Luke's Gospel?
A:According to Luke's Gospel, Jesus was related to John the Baptist. His mother Mary was the cousin of John's mother Elizabeth. There are several reasons to doubt this, including that John's Gospel says that the Baptist did not even know Jesus.
When was Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist born?
A:The story of the birth of John the Baptist to the elderly Zacharius and Elizabeth is found only in Luke's Gospel, which does not mention the birthplace of Elizabeth. The majority of New Testament scholars dismiss the story of the birth of John the Baptist as unhistorical, with Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) saying that both Zacharius and Elizabeth were literary creations by the author of Luke's Gospel. So, on the scholarly view, we can never say where Elizabeth was born.
Why does all the bible text say the Book of John and John the Baptist?
They don't. It says The Gospel According to John. John the Baptist did not author any books in the Bible.
How and why was the birth of John unique?
A:Luke's Gospel is now known to have been based largely on Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document, but the story of the birth of John the Baptist is unique to this gospel, so we do not know where its author learnt of the birth. The story in some ways reflects the story of the birth of Isaac. Zacharias laughed just as Abraham did, when told that his elderly wife would bear a child. This story differs from the Old Testament account because Zacharias was punished for his disbelief by being struck dumb until the birth of John. Although we know that John the Baptist was a historical person, it is possible that the account of his birth is not historically true. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) believes that Zechariah and Elizabeth were literary creations and that the Lucan story is fictional.Another Answer:Assuming your are asking about the Baptist, the Bible notes only 3 men whom God 'knew' before He formed them in the womb: Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and Jesus.
Did John the Baptist write the book of John and 2 John?
No. The book known as John's Gospel was originally anonymous, so we will never really know who wrote it, but certainly the author was not John the Baptist. Late in the second century, the fourth gospel was attributed to the apostle John.
