Was Jesus baptized in a large crowd?

I've heard a few conflicting accounts of the details of his baptism,I was just wondering.

Update:

@tao man: so it was a relatively private event? also, could you cite some kind of source for your answer?

Update 2:

@777th Sabbath: there's a LOT of interesting information in there.. Can you prove that anybody actually knows any of that?

    Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan on February 13, 27AD. The sun was in the middle of the constellation Aquarius, the water bearer, John the Baptistf and the constellation Pisces, the two fishes, one pointing downward, the Word in the flesh and one pointing upward, the holy spirit from Yahweh. The ice from the mountain was just starting to melt and the water was freezing cold. It was the start of 7 times 7 days or 49 days which represents the one week of the 70 weeks ministry of Christ Jesus. Large crowd? It must be a private one because if everyone sees the dove and everyone hears the voice of Yahweh, then, Jesus ministry will end prematurely.

    Read it for yourself: Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1: 9-11, Luke 3:21-22, Now it says that John was at the river Jordan baptizing and Matthew 3: 5 says Then came to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the regions round about Jordan. So sounds like he usually had a crowd.

    I don't think the size of the crowd matters much.
