Were Jesus Christ and John the Baptist the same age?
The direct answer to your question is NO. John the Baptist was not born of a virgin like Christ. The angel Gabriel visits Zacharias while he is duing priestly work in the temple. The angel tells Zacharias that his wife Elizabeth will bear him a son and call his name John. The angel informs Zacharias that his son will be filled with the Holy Spirit from birth. (Luke 1:13-15). Because Zacharias does not believe the news of the birth of a son, he is deaf until his son is born. Like Christ, John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit from birth. However, only Jesus was born of a virgin and was sinless. John the Baptist had a sinful nature just like us and had to believe that Jesus was the Christ (Messiah). Jesus had a heavenly father and John the Baptist had an earthly father like all other humans. Jesus was the exception.

How and why was the birth of John unique?
A:Luke's Gospel is now known to have been based largely on Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document, but the story of the birth of John the Baptist is unique to this gospel, so we do not know where its author learnt of the birth. The story in some ways reflects the story of the birth of Isaac. Zacharias laughed just as Abraham did, when told that his elderly wife would bear a child. This story differs from the Old Testament account because Zacharias was punished for his disbelief by being struck dumb until the birth of John. Although we know that John the Baptist was a historical person, it is possible that the account of his birth is not historically true. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) believes that Zechariah and Elizabeth were literary creations and that the Lucan story is fictional.Another Answer:Assuming your are asking about the Baptist, the Bible notes only 3 men whom God 'knew' before He formed them in the womb: Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and Jesus.

Is Zechariah and zacharias the same person?
Zacharias was a Levite and was not related to Jesus, who was from the tribe of Judah. Jesus and John the Baptist were related through Zacharia's wife, Elizabeth and Mary, Jesus' mother.
When was Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist born?
A:The story of the birth of John the Baptist to the elderly Zacharius and Elizabeth is found only in Luke's Gospel, which does not mention the birthplace of Elizabeth. The majority of New Testament scholars dismiss the story of the birth of John the Baptist as unhistorical, with Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) saying that both Zacharius and Elizabeth were literary creations by the author of Luke's Gospel. So, on the scholarly view, we can never say where Elizabeth was born.
