When did Jesus’ disciples begin to baptize?
Matthew and Mark: Not until after his resurrection ([Matt. xxviii, 18, 19]; [Mark xvi, 15, 16]).
John: At the beginning of his ministry. “After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized” ([iii, 22]). “The Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John. (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples.)” ([iv, 1, 2]).
