Some Jesus scholars today propose that he served as an acolyte to the Baptist until striking out on his own and some scholars similarly think that the Baptist had been an Essene but could not abide by their strict ascetic ways so he left and became this "Baptist" figure. But we don't know anything substantial about his upbringing.
