Mt 3, Verses 13–15English original
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad Him, saying, I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me? 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.
Righteousness; but he adds neither ‘of the Law;’ nor ‘of nature,’ that we may understand it of both.
