Question #86
Who baptized John the Baptist?
Can you tell me who baptized John the Baptist?
The Answer:
The short answer is “No.” The Bible does not say who baptized John and any other answer would be pure speculation. As a matter of fact, there is no record of John’s being baptized at all. John was the divinely appointed forerunner of Christ. Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6; Matthew 10:17-13. His baptism was from God. Matthew 21:24-26. There is no reason to believe that the divinely prophesied and appointed forerunner needed to receive the baptism that he was sent to administer.
