No trapper, their messages were different.
John asked his followers to constantly seek repentance and constantly engendered fear among all his flock of followers when preaching.
Whereas Jesus actually used love to the people whosever believed, which included sinners, the downtrodden, sick etc. and forgave all sin, Johns part was baptism of repentance, but no love for god, only fear of him.
Matthew 3:11–12
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit 1and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
