John the Baptist was Jesus' cousin, born to Elizabeth and Zacharias (Luke 1:1-80; 3:1-18) who preached repentance to the Jews prior to Jesus' earthly ministry. John the Baptist is also call the "forerunner" of Christ because of his ministry to prepare others to receive Jesus' message of salvation.
Were Jesus Christ and John the Baptist the same age?
The direct answer to your question is NO. John the Baptist was not born of a virgin like Christ. The angel Gabriel visits Zacharias while he is duing priestly work in the temple. The angel tells Zacharias that his wife Elizabeth will bear him a son and call his name John. The angel informs Zacharias that his son will be filled with the Holy Spirit from birth. (Luke 1:13-15). Because Zacharias does not believe the news of the birth of a son, he is deaf until his son is born. Like Christ, John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit from birth. However, only Jesus was born of a virgin and was sinless. John the Baptist had a sinful nature just like us and had to believe that Jesus was the Christ (Messiah). Jesus had a heavenly father and John the Baptist had an earthly father like all other humans. Jesus was the exception.
