Matthew 3:13-15

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented.

Talk about it:

Why did John say to Jesus, “I need to be baptized by you”? (John knew that he was a sinner and needed his sins washed away. Jesus, however, did not have any sin. That is why John said that Jesus should be the one to baptize him.)
