Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him.
But, hearing that Archelaus had succeeded his father Herod as King of Judea, he was afraid to go back there; and having been warned in a dream, he went into the part of the country called Galilee.
But John tried to prevent him. "It is I," he said, "who need to be baptized by you; why then do you come to me?"
And were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
I myself did not know him, but, that he may be made known to Israel, I have come, baptizing with water."
