JESUS … BAPTIZED / MATTHEW 3:13

(KJV) Matthew 3:13

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

Jesus was baptized by John for the following reasons:

1. “To fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15; Leviticus 16:4; Galatians 4:4-5). Christ, through water baptism, made a public statement that He was prepared to fulfill all of God’s requirements.
2. To identify Himself with sinners – although Jesus Himself never sinned and did not need to repent or make a change in His life (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:24). 

To associate Himself with the new movement of God that was calling everyone to repent – to turn from their own ways, accept Christ and follow God – if they wanted to be part of God’s spiritual kingdom. (John 1:23, 32-33; John 1:33).
