John the Baptist bore record that Jesus was the son of God - so John already had the concept of the son of God.
Where might John have gotten that concept from?
The Old Testament, of course!
"In thy seed [not seeds plural, seed singular - which was Christ] shall all families of the earth be blessed."
"I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said, unto me, Thou art my Son' this day have I begotten thee...
...Kiss the Son, lest He be angry with thee".
"The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, 'til I make thine enemies thy footstool."
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..."
"The name of the child shall be Immanuel [meaning God with us]."
"One like unto the son of God" - in the book of Daniel.
