John the Baptist preached his message of repentance and baptized people in the Jordan River.
John the Baptist baptized people in the Bible by immersing them in water as a symbol of repentance and spiritual cleansing.
Matthew 3:11 - "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." [NKJV] (Also Luke 3:16)
So that he could prepare people for Christ's Coming.
The River Jordan was where John baptized for the repentance of sin. The River Jordan divides Israel from lands of the non-Jews.
Jesus and John the Baptist were both important figures in the New Testament who preached about repentance and the coming of the Kingdom of God. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus by baptizing people and calling them to repentance, while Jesus continued this message and also taught about love, forgiveness, and salvation. They were related in their roles as prophets and messengers of God, but Jesus was seen as the Messiah and the Son of God, while John the Baptist was a precursor to his ministry.
hi
There were so many people who baptised people the apostles did baptize people, dont know if ou mean John the baptist.
They are following the example of John the Baptist who used the waters of the River Jordan to baptize people.
He preached repentance, and baptized people, and told them that the Messiah was coming, and they should prepare for Him.
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.
It meant repentance and rebirth to a new life. Baptize is a word that is not translated but transliterated right out of the original language which means to be engulfed and surrounded.
Because St. John also known as St. John the baptist was the first person to ever baptize somebody. He baptized Jesus in the Jordan river and many more people.
