John the Forgetful

Matthew
11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Wait a minute!  Didn't John the baptist baptize Jesus? Didn't he know then that he was the son of God? Well, lets see.

3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

John must have forgotten that he said these things on the day that he baptized Jesus.  It just goes to show you what a diet of locust and honey can do to ones brain. he completely forgot that he met Jesus. He even forgets that Jesus is his cousin. ODD!
