The present article aims to approach the figure of John the Baptist following Matthew's presentation of his person and his message, to try to discover how this eschatological prophet can appear among the identities with which the people refer to Jesus and whether there really is something of John in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Starting from the question about who the Son of Man is (Mt 16:13-14) we will try to outline those traits that help us to identify common elements in both characters for which they were recognized in the society of their time.
