Detailed explanation-1: -Summary. Jesus came to John the Baptist while he was baptising people in the River Jordan. John tried to make him change his mind, but Jesus answered, “In this way we will do all that God requires.” So John agreed. As soon as Jesus was baptised, he came up out of the water.
Detailed explanation-2: -The baptism of Jesus is generally considered as the start of his ministry, shortly after the start of the ministry of John the Baptist.
Detailed explanation-3: -Adaptations. The Hebrew name was adopted as (Iōánnēs) in Biblical Greek as the name of both John the Baptist and John the Apostle. In the Latin Vulgate this was originally adopted as Iohannes (or Johannes – in Latin, J is the same letter as I).
Detailed explanation-4: -Christian baptism has its origin in the baptism of Jesus, in both a direct and historical sense. Many of the earliest followers of Jesus were people who, like him, were baptized in the Jordan by John the Baptist.
