John's mother Elizabeth and Jesus' mother Mary were cousins, so John and Jesus were second cousins.
_______________________________________________________
New Testament Bible records suggest a relationship between Jesus of Nazareth and "John the Baptist," particularly in the Gospel of Luke.
Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, and Mary, mother of Jesus are told to be cousins. The degree of "cousin-hood" is not specified.
It is much more interesting to read the story of John, while still an unborn child, and perhaps 6 months advanced on Jesus, jumping for joy in the womb when his mother heard the story of Mary's pregnancy.
It may never be proven from thousands-year-old records whether John the Baptist and Jesus were directly related.
Were they "shirt-tail" cousins? I do not know. Did they meet at a baptismal purification ritual that changed the course of human history?
Again, I do not know for sure. I only know that we are still talking about them both.
