Baptism was already being practiced in Judaism when John the Baptist went about preaching that the Jewish people should be baptised for repentance. He said he was doing this so that they would be ready for the coming of the kingdom of the heaven, which he said was near.

Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, and after that began his active earthly ministry.

Jesus also baptised, and his disciples baptised as well, and after his resurrection he commanded his disciples to baptise those who also wanted to follow him.

On the day of Pentecost, which is considered to be the beginning day of the Christian Church, Peter told the people who were assembled there to repent of their sins and to be baptised, and through these things their sins would be forgiven. He also told them that they would receive the Holy Spirit, who would help them to give up sinning in the future.

Baptism has been practiced in Christianity ever since.

Did Jesus have disciples before his baptism?

Before his baptism, Jesus did not have formally identified disciples. The Gospels suggest that he began to gather followers after his baptism by John the Baptist, when he started his public ministry. However, there were individuals, such as John the Baptist's own disciples, who recognized Jesus' significance before his baptism. The formal calling of his disciples, as recorded in the Gospels, occurs after this event.
