The first New Testament gospel to be written was Mark's Gospel, so this could be closer to the actual events in the mission of Jesus. In Mark 1:14, John was imprisoned and then Jesus came into Galilee and began to preach.
Upon receiving the news that his cousin John the Baptizer had been beheaded, he "withdrew from there by boat into a lonely place for isolation." (Matthew 14:12,13)
Jesus got baptised in the Jordan River by John the Baptist.
Jesus appears to have been a follower of John the Baptist. Most of his unusual insights into Judaism are most likely a result of John's teachings. Since there is no historical record of Jesus we can only go on what little the Bible reveals. Aside from a connection to John's group, we know nothing of Jesus's direct influences.
Jesus often went to pray in secluded places, such as mountains or gardens, to spend time alone with God. One notable place where he prayed was the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion.

TrueAnswer:No, he did not. When John (who was imprisoned) sent disciples to ask Jesus, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?" (Matthew 11:3), Jesus told them to go back to John and report on the things they saw and heard (Matthew 11:4-6). He then turned to the crowd and gave a strong commendation of John in verses 7-15.

Catholics. They go back to the time of Jesus. It is what Jesus founded. Baptists first started in 1609.
If you attend a Baptist church, you are likely practicing the Christian religion. Baptists are a Protestant Christian denomination known for their belief in adult baptism by immersion, congregational governance, and the priesthood of all believers.
Mandate of Israel: Yokanan got "John the baptist" name from the gentiles. His name would have looked like this : YOKANAN BEN ??? where ???= his father's name. Sort of like Ethan McDougal: Ethan son of Dougal. The Hebrew word ben means son of. ******************************************** John the Baptist got his name as he went out to baptise the people before Christ arrived.
Yes.There was not a greater man that John the Baptist, according to Jesus. He was the forerunner of Jesus who was the Messiah. John was a born again believer so, of course, he went to heaven.Matthew 11:11 (KJV) Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.Luke 7:28 (KJV) For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.Jesus, however, was greater than John the Baptist because Jesus was God.John 5:36 (KJV) But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray before being arrested on a Thursday night. This event is known as Maundy Thursday in Christian traditions and is part of the events leading up to Easter.
John the Baptist was a forerunner sent to announce the coming of the Savior. He was not called to follow Jesus literally but to make Jesus' bride ready for Jesus.The forerunner in ancient Hebrew wedding customs was the friend of the bride groom, he ran ahead of the bridegroom when the bridegroom's father told him it was ok to go and get his bride, then the forerunner would go ahead of the bridegroom and announce to the bride that her bridegroom was coming, if the forerunner followed the bridegroom then the bride would not be able to make herself ready.Jesus is our the bridegroom and the church is the bride, God designates certain people to be forerunners and announce the coming of the bridegroom. John didn't follow Jesus because he was called to make the bride (or believers in Jesus) ready or prepared with repentance to receive Jesus.Jesus talked about new wine in old wineskins, what John did was call people to repentance which made new wineskins for Jesus (the new wine) to be able to be poured into and not burst.
