WHY was Jesus baptized?

Matthew 3:15 Douay-Rheims Bible
And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice. Then he suffered him.

Just WHERE is baptism even MENTIONED in the LAW?

This is your argument:

The gospel says that John was baptizing, as a sign of repentance.

Jesus came, and was baptized.

Therefore, Jesus was a sinner.

I never said baptism is mentioned in the law.

I said that John was baptizing, as a sign of repentance.

According to your premise, when Jesus was baptized, this constituted a public confession that he was a sinner.
