They are cousins.
LUKE 1:36 = "And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."

Jesus and John were first cousins and had a very close relationship. Their mother's were sisters. When Mary found out she was with child, one of the first to know about it was Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist. It is said that John lept for joy while in his mother's womb at the news.

John the Baptist and Jesus were cousins, which would make their mothers either sisters or sisters in law which i beleive they would just use the word sister for anyways...so sisters
