Ohio,

Actually, the narrative in John does not specify when the baptism took place relative to the vision that identified him to John. But in Matthew, it is clear that John knew who he was before the baptism because he tried to have Jesus baptize him instead. Seems to eliminate the "after the baptism revelation" idea being put forward.
