The word denotes one who administers the rite of baptism, emphasizing John's role in calling people to repentance and symbolically cleansing them through immersion in water.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first century, baptism was a ritual of purification and repentance. John the Baptist's ministry took place in the wilderness of Judea, where he called people to repent for the kingdom of heaven was near (Matthew 3:1-2). His baptism was a precursor to the Christian baptism instituted by Jesus, symbolizing repentance and the washing away of sins. John's role as "the Baptist" was significant in fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the forerunner to the Messiah (Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/907.htm">baptizó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a baptizer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Baptist (12).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 910: βαπτιστής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βαπτιστής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βαπτιστοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">βαπτίζω</span>),<span class="accented"> a baptizer; one who administers the rite of baptism</span>; the surname of John, the forerunner of Christ: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/3-1.htm">Matthew 3:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-11.htm">Matthew 11:11</a>f; (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-2.htm">Matthew 14:2, 8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/16-14.htm">Matthew 16:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/17-13.htm">Matthew 17:13</a>); <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-24.htm">Mark 6:24</a> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">βαπτίζοντος</span>), <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-25.htm">Mark 6:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/8-28.htm">Mark 8:28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-20.htm">Luke 7:20, 28</a> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> omit), <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-38.htm">Luke 7:38</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-19.htm">Luke 9:19</a>; also given him by <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 18, 5, 2, and found in no other secular writings (Joh. d.
