Did Jesus baptize anybody?
Technically no, but His disciples baptized on His behalf. The apostle John wrote about it this way:
Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. [John 4:1-3]
There is an Old Testament correlation. In Exodus 40, Moses is said to have built the Tabernacle, but in actuality, it would have been erected by a group of workers. Moses supervised the building of the Tabernacle, and in that sense, built it - just liked the disciples baptizing people under Jesus’ direction.
