john is the only one who can baptize at that time so jesus chose him to baptize him
No; John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the River Jordan.
So, that he could anoint Jesus for His Ministry.
He baptized into water, but the one coming after him (Jesus) would baptize into the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ. God sent John the Baptist to baptize. God gave him the authority to baptize and he baptized Jesus. The "Baptist" denomination is the only denomination mentioned in The Bible. The Baptist church originated with Jesus Christ in the land of Israel.
He felt unworthy standing near the Messiah. John understood exactly who Jesus was and what His mission on earth was to be.
Because it was By St. John's Baptism that Our Lord was Anointed as the Messiah.
Jesus asks John to baptize him, but John says that Jesus should baptize him instead, but Jesus told him to because Jesus will carry the sins of all the world and will give new life to all the humanity, and when Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit came over Him in a shape of a dove and a sound from Heaven saying that Jesus is the beloved son of GOD...(Mathiew 3:13-17)
john was only a human, so he could only bless you with mortal things. but Jesus, however, can bless you with immortal things.
we call him that because he was the first to legitimately baptize, and because he baptized Jesus
All Christian Churches baptize in the name of Jesus.
In the bible Jesus comes to John , and asks to be baptized, but John says that Jesus should baptize him instead. In the end John baptizes Jesus in the river Jordan, and Jesus was 30 odd years then.
