No, Jesus didn't baptize anyone with water. Read what it
actually says.
John 4:1-2
4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the politicians had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
4:2 (
THOUGH JESUS HIMSELF BAPTIZED NOT, but his disciples,)
The two verses you quoted from above are John baptizing Jesus, to fulfill the prophecies and return the mantle back to Christ (in the body of Jesus) that Christ (while in the body of Elijah) gave to Elisha/John the Baptist in the very same spot at the Jordan River.
For those who may be spiritually awake, i.e. reborn as their true, spiritual self, this is why the baptism
OF Jesus by John the Baptist, at the Jordan River, needed to take place, to fulfill the Scriptures:-
2 kings 2:1-12
2:1 And it came to pass, when the "I AM" would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2:2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the "I AM" hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said [unto him, As] the "I AM" Liveth, and [as] thy soul Liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
2:3 And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the "I AM" will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
2:4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the "I AM" hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the "I AM" Liveth, and [as] thy soul Liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
2:5 And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the "I AM" will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
2:6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the "I AM" hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, [As] the "I AM" Liveth, and [as] thy soul Liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
2:7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off:
and they two stood by Jordan.
2:8
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And
Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
2:10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: [nevertheless], if thou see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
2:12 And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
2:13
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
2:14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where [is] the "I AM" God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted here and there: and Elisha went over.
That very same mantle was then returned from the spirit-being Elisha/Elias (
reincarnated in the body of John the Baptist) to the Spirit-Being Elijah/Christ (in the body of Jesus) in the same exact spot, at the
Jordan River, roughly 900 years later:
Matthew 3:11-16
3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and [with] fire:
3:12 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable Fire.
3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee
to Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him (by John the Baptist).
3:14 But John (Elias - Elisha –
17:12-13) forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?
3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him,
Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him (the returning of the mantle - 2 kings 2:13):
3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Further confirmation that John the Baptist was Elisha/Elias (
NOT Elijah):-
Matthew 17:10-13
17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the lawyers that Elias must first come?
17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
17:12
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of Man suffer of them.
17:13
Then the disciples understood that he spoke unto them of John the Baptist (Elias - Elisha
NOT Elijah).
John 1:19-23
1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
1:21 And they asked him, What then?
Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am NOT. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
1:23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight The Way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Therefore, by his own admission, John the Baptist was
NOT Elijah, but instead was Elisha/Elias, who had asked for a double-portion of Elijah's Spirit (
2 kings 2:9).
And hopefully it's now self-evident to those with "eyes to see" why water baptism was replaced with Christ's baptism
with the Holy Spirit and with FIRE, from that point forward.
John 3:30 He (Christ) must increase, but I (John the Baptist) [must] decrease.
