The Gospels do not say much about Jesus baptizing his followers. The synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, & Luke) are silent about this subject. It is the Gospel of John that mentions what little is said about this issue, and it is inconsistent about the answer. It would seem from John 3:22 that he did: "After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea, and there he tarried with them, and baptized." This is reiterated in John 3: 25 - 26: "Then there arose a question between {some} of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying. And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all (men) come to him. " But John 4: 1 - 3 also states that Jesus did not baptize anyone: "When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. " Scholars disagree on how to interpret this apparent contradiction. The prevalent theory is that Jesus baptized people at one point in his ministry, but ceased to do so after a time. This theory is consistent with the Jewish expectation that the Messiah would indeed baptize people, which the Gospel of John mentions in 1:25: "And they (the Pharisees) asked him (John), and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?" It is probable then, to conclude that Jesus did baptize people at some point in his ministry.

Assuming that water baptism is implied, no, there there is no record of Jesus baptising anyone. Jesus himself was baptized by John the baptist.
