Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.
But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee.
John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
and they were baptized by him in the River Jordan, confessing their sins.
I myself did not know him, but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.”
