3. Clue 3: John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.
4. Clue 4: St. Joseph (though the clue's phrasing is a bit off, the context of religious life and service aligns with St. Joseph's role; or possibly a mis - phrased clue about a religious figure, but the common figure for such a life story with slavery and religious call is St. Joseph or St. Moses, but here the handwritten answer is St. Josephine Bakhita?
