The Apostles Baptism (and other sacraments)

[Big_Feet]

When does tradition hold that the Apostles were baptized, if ever?
Were they confirmed (Pentecost) first? And, did they receive their 1st communion (the Last Supper) before both?

Just some curiosities, but not a hindrance to my faith.

I know some of them were almost certainly baptized by John the Baptist, as they were his followers.

I would think the rest of them were as well, because Jesus himself was baptized (so why wouldn’t he ask the rest to be too?) but I have nothing to back that up.

But, that was not a Christian, sacramental baptism. It was merely a baptism of repentance. I am speaking of the sacramental baptism, “in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”

After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; there he remained with them and baptized. John also was baptizing at Ae’non near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were baptized.
(Joh 3:22-23)

This passage of Scripture seems to indicate that Jesus Himself was baptizing people at one point. Perhaps the disciples were baptized by Him then?

Now that would be awkward.

“Peter, I baptize you in the name of my Father, myself, and the Spirit”.

Of course, since Jesus is the source of all sacraments he is not bound to that formula, like in the case of the good thief.

I suppose it would be a little awkward but I always figured that Jesus did baptize them. I mean, who else would have baptized them since John’s baptism was only a baptism of repentance and not a Sacramental baptism?

Why would it be awkward Jesus baptising the Apostles. He could still say I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
After all he told them to go out and baptise in the name of the Father and of the Son (not myself) and of the Holy Spirit.

From this link:

The words of St. Clement of Alexandria are preserved in the following passage (the original work which the author is quoting no longer exists):
Yes, truly, the apostles were baptised, as Clement the Stromatist relates in the fifth book of the Hypotyposes. For, in explaining the apostolic statement,“I thank God that I baptised none of you,” he says, Christ is said to have baptised Peter alone, and Peter Andrew, and Andrew John, and they James and the rest.
