Because he was a prophet. Malachi 3 says "Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me." Also read Matthew 17:10-13. * John the Baptist baptized sinful people to take away sins * The prophets of the church thought only God could take away people's sins * He would talk against the king in public [For doing this you could get thrown into prison or be killed] * He spoke about the coming of the Savior * People thought hHE was the Savior
