3902 — Who Baptized John?

By Editor

I heard a person ask not long ago, "Who baptized John?" I have not found anything on this in "Questions and Answers." —S. C.

No, there is nothing in "Questions and Answers" regarding this. We do not know who baptized John. The Bible tells us nothing about it. We do not know whether he was baptized or not. We do know this,—God called him from before the time that he was born. God Himself fitted him for his mission, and God Himself sent him. The Lord does not satisfy our curiosity in any way regarding the fitting of His servants, or the choosing of them. Everything that was necessary to do on John's part, or in John's attitude toward the Lord, was evidently met, and we can leave all that with the Lord.
