But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Pero Juan trató de impedírselo, diciendo: 'Espera, yo soy el que necesita ser bautizado por ti, ¿por qué vienes a mí?'
Juan reconoció que Jesús era superior a él y que debería ser al revés.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, John the Baptist was a prophet who preached repentance and baptized people in the Jordan River as a way to prepare Israel for the coming Messiah. When Jesus approached him for baptism, John hesitated because he recognized Jesus as the sinless one who was greater than himself and didn't need such a ritual. This event marks the start of Jesus' public ministry and underscores John's role as the forerunner announced in the Old Testament prophecies.
