Jesus Christ is Baptized by John the Baptist

John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ in the River Jordan. 

Matthew 3:13-17

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

14  But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

15  And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

16  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Jesus was baptized to:

1 Fulfill all righteousness

2 Humble himself before His Father

3. Witness unto His Father that He would obey all His commandments.

4. Show us the perfect example for us to follow, to also be baptized by someone having proper authority to enter into the strait and narrow path of righteous living in order to gain eternal life.
