Jesus Christ walked down to the river Jordan to bathe in the holy water and relieve his sins, John knew of the importance of Jesus and baptised him in the water

Answer:John recognized Jesus as the one who did not need to repent and be baptised. Rather, John said he needed to be baptised by Jesus (Jesus was sinless). But Jesus insisted that John should baptise Him in order to fulfill all righteousness.

Hard to say for sure who the first one was. John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin, was preaching and baptising 'in the wilderness' when Jesus came to him and asked him to baptise him in the name of the holy spirit.


Was John Baptized by Jesus?

Not really, Im a Protestant. The thing is that we dont baptise infants full stop. This is because infants dont know what theyre doing so youre just getting them wet. Jesus got baptised when he was a grown man so we baptise people when theyre already old enough to know what theyre doing, im 17 and just got baptised. And yes we baptise in water.


What are difference between Jesus and John the Baptist?

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.

Why was John reluctant to baptize Jesus?

John knows who Jesus is, that he is the son of God. He also knows that Jesus is without sin. The baptizing that John is performing is for those who are repentant of their sins. Since Jesus is without sin, he believes he shouldn't baptize him. Jesus, however, is not being asked to be baptized as a symbol of repentance for sin but rather showing that he is presenting himself to his Father to do His will. Hebrews 10:5-7 It is now time for Jesus to begin his earthly ministry that God sent him to earth to do.
