Saint Jerome on the Baptism of Jesus

January 15, 2019 by Pastor Mike

Along with prostitutes and sinners, He came for baptism, and He is holier than the one who baptizes. He is purified by John in the flesh, but He purifies John in the spirit. The waters that had been wont to cleanse others are now purified by the cleansing of our Lord. – St Jerome pic.twitter.com/7Fe66rtSl6
