John The Baptist
The story of John the Baptist begins with his father Zachary, a priest of the Temple in Jerusalem. He was in the church praying when Gabriel, an angel appeared to him. The angel said to him, "Do not be frightened Zechariah; your prayers have been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will have a son who you shall name John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." (Luke 1:13:18). Zechariah doubted the angel because both him and his wife were old to have a child. Gabriel made Zechariah mute because of his doubts until the birth of his son.

He did not want to do this but he promised. After being baptized, when He was at prayer with His followers, the skies opened up and the Holy Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove.
