Matthew 3:13-15 At that time Jesus progressively births Himself from the Galilee province; region, coming to be at the side at the Jordan River, and coming toward John for the purpose of being immersed by him (or: in order to be baptized under him).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ At that time Jesus progressively births Himself from the Galilee [province; region], coming to be at the side at the Jordan [River], [and coming] toward John for the purpose of being immersed by him (or: in order to be baptized under him). ¹⁴ Now John kept on trying to completely dissuade and prevent Him, repeatedly saying, "I, myself, continue having a need to be immersed (baptized) by and under You, and yet You are now coming to me?!" ¹⁵ But, decidedly responding, Jesus said to him, "Let this situation flow its course and send [Me] off, right now (at present), for it is in this way proper and fitting for us to fulfill all that accords with the way pointed out (or: to make full every aspect of being turned in the right direction, and of being in right relationship [within the covenant])." Then he let the moment flow on, and proceeded to allow Him (or: At that point [John] yields, and sends Him forth).
