<sup>2</sup>y siendo sumos sacerdotes Anás y Caifás, vino palabra de Dios a Juan, hijo de Zacarías, en el desierto.<sup> 3</sup>Y él fue por toda la región contigua al Jordán, predicando el bautismo del arrepentimiento para perdón de pecados,<sup> 4</sup>como está escrito en el libro de las palabras del profeta Isaías, que dice:

Lc.3
Juan bautizaba en el Jordán. El verbo bautizar indica sumergir totalmente a algo o alguien en un medio ambiente totalmente distinto del que estaba anteriormente. En este caso, la persona era totalmente inmersa en agua, tal y como era costumbre en Israel en uno de los ritos de purificación, y también en la iniciación de prosélitos.

[FONT="]...The nearest analogies to the baptism of John are the baptisms of official Judaism, and especially proselyte baptism. John’s baptism, like that of proselytes, is once and for all. It makes a great demand on the members of the elect people in ranking them with the defiled Gentiles who were apparently admitted on the same conditions (Lk. 3:14). In contrast to proselyte baptism, however, its orientation is not political or ritualistic, but distinctively ethical, with a close relation to eschatology. <sup><sup>[FONT="][2][/FONT]</sup></sup>[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
