Jesus. He went down to the River Jordan where John was baptizing and presented himself for baptism. He did this at thirty years of age when He realized it was the time for Him to begin His public ministry. John had been baptizing only a few months before Jesus came to him. It is clear that Jesus had a deep knowledge of divine destiny regarding this moment of baptism.  

Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him (Matthew 3: 13).  

John very much opposed Jesus’ being baptized by him. He recognized who He was and realized that since He was without sin, He also needed no repentance. Also John recognized that since Jesus had greater authority from God, the roles of ministry should have been reversed. But God had a reason for it all. Jesus insisted that John do it His way. John cooperated.  

But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and earnest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him. Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him (Matthew 3: 14, 15).
