Matthew 3:13
Douay-Rheims
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him.
Ambrose of Milan
(Ambrosiaster. Serm. x. 5.) Scripture tells of many wonders wrought at various times in this river; as that, among others, in the Psalms, Jordan, was driven backwards; (Ps. 114:3.) before the water was driven back, now sins are turned back in its current; as Elijah divided the waters of old, so Christ the Lord wrought in the same Jordan the separation of sin.
