Summary
In Matthew, the first words that we have recorded that come from the mouth of Jesus, there are response, there are response that Jesus makes to one who is trying to prevent to prevent his mission. The Spirit, the third person of the Trinity descends upon Him in the form of a dove and the voice, the voice of the Father, the first person of the Trinity is heard. The first words of Jesus recorded in the gospel of Matthew, let it be so now for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness. John would have prevented him, Jesus, saying, I need to be baptized by you and do you come to me the purpose of Christ's baptism. Peter attempted to prevent the very purpose of Jesus on earth and his ministry and just as Jesus responded to John the Baptist saying that it is proper to fulfill all righteousness. Peter wanted to prevent Jesus from entering into Jerusalem but if he had succeeded in preventing Jesus, then the birth of Christ, the baptism of Christ, the life, the ministry, the works of Christ, the teaching of Christ would all be for nothing.
