Our Sunday school lesson this week (from Smith & Helwys Formations) is Luke's account of Jesus' baptism. Matthew 3: 13-17, and Mark 1: 9-11, say that John (the Baptist) baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. But Luke 3:20 says John was in jail. Next verse, Luke 3:21 says Jesus was baptized, but doesn't say who baptized Him. This has never come to my attention, previously. I can't find a reference to Jesus' baptism in the Gospel of John. Isn't it there, in John?
Jesus paid the price for me and everybody.
