The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him (John the Baptist). Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. Mark 1:5
The first gospels opens up describing flocks of Jews seeking out one man to baptize them. Difficult imagining all the Jews in the area doing this. Since there was no Christianity yet, as the Jesus character has yet to be introduced, was John baptizing them into Judaism?
