Jesus and John - The Baptist
The Annunciation of the Birth of Jesus
26 In the sixth month, Gabriel the angel was sent from God to a town in Galilee called
Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man called Joseph, from the family of David. The
virgin was called Mary.
28 ‘Greetings, favoured one!’ said the angel when he arrived. ‘May the Lord be with
you!’
The Angel Gabriel Appears to Zechariah
13 The angel said to him, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your
wife Elizabeth will have a son, and you will name him John. 14 He will be your pride
and joy, and many people will be glad that he was born.
The lord selects perfect families, one of king David, and second one of Aron who be-
gan Israel's first formal line of priests, was first to wear the priestly garments and
started the sacrificial system.
Holy Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40
where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard
Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is
the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should
come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my
womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his
promises to her!”
Here, unborn Holy Spirit of The John recognize the presence of The Lord with full
of joy, and Holy mother Elizabeth filled with joy.
Both, Jesus and John, The front line commanders of the Holy One, had a special mission
on the earth that we could ever understand as a layman of human flesh. Jesus says about
John that there is no other prophet like him. And, John testifies Jesus with a higher rank
than himself.
John 21:24-25
New International Version
24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know
that his testimony is true.
25 Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I
suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would
be written.
