Because he baptised Jesus.
John the baptist was his cousin. Although there was an other John people think he is the cousin of Jesus but he was not, but he was a deciple.
Yes they did.
The main job of john the baptist was to make the people repent of their sins , and get baptized.
lol i think i am just typing this so i dont have to finsh my research paper on John The Baptist.
hi
There is a St. John the Baptist but no St. John Paul the Baptist.
John the Baptist was not a crazy person. people believe that because they would NEVER baptize Jesus or do anything that John did. and since most people don't like to admit this they say that the people who do these things are crazy.
I think this has been answered before: "Come forth and repent your sins, get baptised in the river Jordan."
John the Baptist was never married.
Jesus, paul, john, peter, john the baptist
He prepared them for the Coming of the Christ.
He preached repentance, and baptized people, and told them that the Messiah was coming, and they should prepare for Him.
