Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee,
But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel.”
