Jesus replied,“ Let it be this way for now. It is right for us to do this. It carries out God’s holy plan.” Then John agreed.

耶稣回答说：“你暂且许我，因为我们理当这样尽诸般的义。”于是约翰许了他。

耶稣回答他：“暂且这样做吧，因为我们理当这样履行全部的义。”于是约翰就依了他。

耶稣回答他：“暂且这样做吧，因为我们理当这样履行全部的义。”于是约翰就依了他。

耶稣回答说：“你就这样做吧！我们理当这样遵行上帝一切的要求。”于是约翰答应了。

耶稣回答：“暂且这样作吧。我们理当这样履行全部的义。”于是约翰答应了他。

耶稣回答他，说：“现在你就答应吧，因为我们如此成全一切的义，是合宜的。”于是约翰答应了他。

耶穌回答說：「你暫且許我，因為我們理當這樣盡諸般的義。」於是約翰許了他。

耶穌回答他：「暫且這樣做吧，因為我們理當這樣履行全部的義。」於是約翰就依了他。

耶穌回答他：「暫且這樣做吧，因為我們理當這樣履行全部的義。」於是約翰就依了他。

耶穌回答說：「你就這樣做吧！我們理當這樣遵行上帝一切的要求。」於是約翰答應了。

耶穌回答：“暫且這樣作吧。我們理當這樣履行全部的義。”於是約翰答應了他。

耶穌回答他說：『你且容許着吧；因為我們這樣行盡全禮是理所當然的。』於是約翰許了他。

耶穌回答他，說：「現在你就答應吧，因為我們如此成全一切的義，是合宜的。」於是約翰答應了他。

耶穌曰、今姑許我、我儕亦如是以盡諸義、乃許之、

耶穌曰、今姑吾許、吾儕當如是以盡禮、乃許之、

耶穌謂之曰、今姑許我、因我儕當如是以盡諸義、約翰乃許之、

耶穌應曰：『茲姑許之、聊以盡義。』如望乃許之。

Jesus replied,“ Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

But Jesus answered him,“ Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented.

But Jesus said,“ It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize him.

Jesus answered him,“ Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John allowed him to be baptized.

But Jesus, answering, said to him,“ Allow it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he* allowed Him.

But Jesus answered and said to him,“ Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

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

Jesus answered him,“ Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him to be baptized.

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.

So Jesus replied to him,“ Let it happen now, for it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John yielded to him.

But Jesus, answering, said to him,“ Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.

Jesus said,“ My food is to do what my Father sent me to do. My food is to finish his work.

The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.”

Then I said,“ Here I am. It is written about me in the book.My God, I have come to do what you want. Your law is in my heart.”

You were chosen to do good even if you suffer. That’s because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example that he expects you to follow.Scripture says,“ He didn’t commit any sin. No lies ever came out of his mouth.”( Isaiah 53:9)People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn’t do the same thing back to them. When he suffered, he didn’t say he would make them suffer. Instead, he trusted in the God who judges fairly.“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love. In the same way, I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.

Those who claim to belong to him must live just as Jesus did.

I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you.

Both of them did what was right in the sight of God. They obeyed all the Lord’s commands and rules faithfully.

Jesus replied,“ You don’t realize now what I am doing. But later you will understand.”“ No,” said Peter.“ You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered,“ Unless I wash you, you can’t share life with me.”“ Lord,” Simon Peter replied,“ not just my feet! Wash my hands and my head too!”

The Lord wanted his people to see how great and glorious his law is. He wanted to show them that he always does what is right.

Instead, he made himself nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings.He appeared as a man. He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death. Even worse, he died on a cross!

A high priest like that really meets our need. He is holy, pure and without blame. He isn’t like other people. He does not sin. He is lifted high above the heavens.
