When Jesus received the baptism, He ordered John the Baptist to baptize Him, saying, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15).
Nang tanggapin ni Jesus ang bautismo, inutos Niya kay Juan Bautista na Siya'y bautismuhan, sinabing, "Payagan mo ngayon: sapagka't ganyan ang nararapat sa atin, ang pagganap ng buong katuwiran" (Mateo 3:15).
