Matthew 3:13
Douay-Rheims
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him.
Remigius of Auxerre
Or thus; It becometh us to fulfil all righteousness, that is, to give an example of perfect justification in baptism, without which the gate of the kingdom of heaven is not opened. Hence let the proud take an example of humility, and not scorn to be baptized by My humble members when they see Me baptized by John My servant. That is true humility which obedience accompanies; as it continues, then he suffered Him, that is, at last consented to baptize Him.
