It’s possible that they, like Our Lord, were baptised by John the Baptist.
It’s also possible that Our Lord did it Himself. John 3:22: “After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea, and there he tarried with them, and baptised.”
Or that the disciples baptised each other. John 4:1-2: “… the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples)”
We don’t know for sure.

Oh okay. There is no tradition on this? Also, was the baptism of Saint John the Baptist considered a Christian baptism? I always thought it was considered to be a precursor to Christian baptism. Also, I had no idea that Jesus baptized anyone until I read John 3:22. Thanks for quoting that!

Right, Holly; the baptisms performed by by St. John the Baptist weren’t Christians baptisms. An earlier discussion on your original question can be found here:
