Quote:22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized. 23 Now John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. 24 (This was before John was put in prison.) 25 An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing. 26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”
Seriously, Drippy. Haven't you read this shit at all?
Christ's ministry officially started at the point of his baptism by John. However there were instances where Christ performed miricals and did his thing before He was baptized. The Water/wine wedding comes to mind.
At the point of His baptism He was endowed with the Holy Spirit, but did not actually start ministering to actual people till sometime after He came back form his time in the desert. Which by then JtB was imprisioned.
So again I do not see the problem you apparently do. Can you explain it a little better.
