Was John the Baptist sent by man or god?

Sincerely,
Who Is That Guy?

Dear Who Is That Guy,

John the Baptist was sent by God (Jhn 1:6).  The angel Gabriel foretold John’s birth and life (Lk 1:13-17).  John was sent by God to prepare Israel for Jesus.

Interestingly, Jesus asked the Pharisees a similar question in Mk 11:29-30.  They were afraid to answer the question because of the implications of the answer.
