Matthew 3:1, In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

MLV, Matthew 3:1, Now in those days John the Immerser comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

. . . John the Baptist . . . .
. . . John the Baptizer . . . .
. . . John the Immersionist . . . .
. . . John the Immersioner . . . .
. . . John the Immerser . . . .

The modern preference . . . John the Immerser.
Personally I prefer John the Immersionist, based on the traditional John the Baptist.

What do you think?

I reviewed the 60 or so English versions listed on a website of Matthew 3:1 and found:

1) Six versions that had John the Baptizer, ERV, GW, MSB, NOG and WEB.
2) One version had John the Immerser, TLV
3) All the rest, including the NKJV, NASB, ESV, NIV,and CSB still had John the Baptist.​
