yes that luke.
You do understand John the baptist was indeed older than Jesus,and chapter 1 describes John's birth while at the same tie john grew up and moved out into the wilderness, the events of chapter two took place which gives plenty of time for the change in power.
Did you even read the Wikipedia article? The author of the Gospel of Luke made an historical blunder. It would like someone claiming that Woodrow Wilson was President prior to Teddy Roosevelt.
That is the perception yes, but I showed you how it is not a blunder but a miss reading and mis conception of what the passage is describing.
Again chapter 1 describes John birth which includes herod the great. John was born first and could be between 4 and 6 years old. Chapter two descibes the birth of jesus some time later.
