13 Then Yeshua appeared. He came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. 14 But John tried to stop him and said, “I need to be baptized by you. Why are you coming to me?”

15 Yeshua answered him, “This is the way it has to be now. This is the proper way to do everything that God requires of us.”
