Matthew 3:15

15 However, Yeshua answered him, "Let it be this way now, because we should do everything righteousness requires." Then Yochanan let him.

Matthew 3:15 In-Context

13 Then Yeshua came from the Galil to the Yarden to be immersed by Yochanan.
14 But Yochanan tried to stop him. "You are coming to me? I ought to be immersed by you!"
15 However, Yeshua answered him, "Let it be this way now, because we should do everything righteousness requires." Then Yochanan let him.
16 As soon as Yeshua had been immersed, he came up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, he saw the Spirit of God coming down upon him like a dove,
17 and a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with him."
