Matthew 3:13-15

New Century Version

Jesus Is Baptized by John

¹³ At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River and wanted John to baptize him. ¹⁴ But John tried to stop him, saying, “Why do you come to me to be baptized? I need to be baptized by you!”

¹⁵ Jesus answered, “Let it be this way for now. We should do all things that are God’s will.” So John agreed to baptize Jesus.
