Best Answer

The Dead Sea Scrolls were a collection of 800-900 documents, many consisting of ancient biblical texts while others comprised rules for living in the community. By the standard of their day, the biblical texts were not particularly old and do not reflect versions of the various scriptures that existed even earlier, but they do show us what the Hebrew Bible said around the time of the first century CE.

Did the Dead Sea Scrolls influence John the Baptist?

The Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden in caves overlooking the Dead Sea around 70 CE, at the end of the First Roman-Jewish War. They included many standard Jewish scriptures, as well as a number of scolls concerned with rules and practices of the community that hid them. Since John the Baptist was executed in 36 CE, long before the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, he was of course not influenced by these scrolls themselves. Whether he was influenced by the scrolls before they became "Dead Sea Scrolls", or by other copies of them, depends on whether John was a member of the community that hid them. This possibility continues to be debated.
