Bible Question:
Is there any estimate on how many people John baptized? Thanks, John |
Bible Answer: Dear John: There may be a "guess-timate" extant somewhere about the number of people the Baptist immersed. Matthew says that "Jerusalem, all Judea, and the region around Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins." See Matthew 2:5,6. This would appear to suggest that John did indeed baptize a considerable number of people from the region. But Matthew mentions no specific number whom John baptized. And I doubt that you'll find it elsewhere in Scripture, though you can search the Book of Numbers if you like! :-) --Hank |
