It is chronicled by the synoptic writers in a total of only ten verses (five in Matthew, three in Mark, and two in Luke), and yet it is pivotal in that it signals the commencement of the Lord's preaching ministry. Why was Jesus immersed at the hands of John the Baptizer? This is not a question to which many can give a clear and convincing answer. The Issue Negatively Viewed One thing is certain. Jesus was not baptized by John in the vein of the prophet's ordinary sphere of operation. John immersed folks who penitently confessed their sins (Mt. 3:6,8), and the purpose of his baptism was " for the remission of sins " (Mk. 1:4). The preposition " for " (Greek, eis) means " to obtain " (Thayer, 94). The phrase may be rendered: " so that sins might be forgiven " (Arndt, 228). Since Jesus had no sin (Heb. 4:15; 1 Pet. 2:22), it is obvious that his immersion by John was of a unique sort. He did not approach John seeking pardon. http://www.christiancourier.com/archives/whyWasJesusBaptized.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
