This homily is based on Matthew 3:13-17 on the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord.
John the Baptist, as well as his disciples, must have been bewildered by Jesus’ request for baptism. “Baptize him?”
But John saw that Jesus was serious about his request, and though he did not understand, he decided to trust Jesus, going ahead to baptize him even if he knew that between the two of them, it should be him getting baptized by Jesus.
