Then Jesus approaches from Galilee to Jordan, to John, to be immersed by him.
And having heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea, instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go there; and having received intimation of the divine will in a dream, he turned back into the parts of Galilee.
And John hindered him, saying, I have need to be immersed by thee, and dost thou come to me?
And they were immersed in Jordan by him, acknowledging their sins.
And I knew him not: but that he might be manifested to Israel, for this I came immersing in water.
