John the Baptist (Hebrew: , Yohanan Ha'Matbil, also called John the Baptiser, or Yahya the Baptiser) was a 1st century Jewish preacher and ascetic regarded as a prophet by four religions: Christianity, Islam, Mandaeanism, and the Bah' Faith. The title of prophet is asserted in the Synoptic Gospels, the Qur'an, and the Bah' Writings. According to Luke 1:36, he was a relative of Jesus, though Mandaeans dispute this claim. He is also commonly referred to as John the Forerunner or Precursor because Christians consider him as the forerunner of Christ. In Mandaic he is called Yihja jahane.
