But Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffereth him.

But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.

Αποκριθεις δε ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον· Αφες τωρα· διοτι ουτως ειναι πρεπον εις ημας να εκπληρωσωμεν πασαν δικαιοσυνην. Τοτε αφινει αυτον.

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.
