1 | Are John and John The Baptist the same? | John 21:24 | Ernie5933 | 143604 | ||
I am reading the book of John. I am a little confused. Is John the same person as John the Baptist? Can this be cleared up for me with appropriate scriptures? Thanks, Ernie5933 |

2 | Are John and John The Baptist the same? | John 21:24 | flinkywood | 143605 | ||
Ernie, good question. 1) In John 1:27 the prophet is self-described as the precursor of Christ, not John "the Baptist". Matthew, Mark and Luke's Gospels (the Synoptic Gospels) all refer to the prophet as "John the Baptist", probably to avoid confusion with the Apostle John. 2) The Gospel tells us that its author is the disciple whom Jesus loves (John 21.24), who was also one of the twelve Apostles, and who is also present at the Sea of Tiberius after the Resurrection (John 21). John the Baptist, as we know from Mark 6, was executed by Herod very early in Christ's ministry, so the author of John could not have been John the Baptist. Colin |
