What lesson is Nephi teaching his brothers in these verses?
Turn to Matthew 3:13–17 to read about the baptism of Jesus. What does the phrase "to fulfill all righteousness" mean?
Nephi taught why Jesus Christ was baptized. Study 2 Nephi 31:4–9 to find the reason why Jesus was baptized.
Also in these verses Nephi teaches what righteousness is. How does the example of Jesus Christ deepen your understanding of righteousness? How can you better follow Jesus' example of righteousness in your life today?
With all these thoughts in mind watch “The Baptism of Jesus” (2:55) from The Life of Jesus Christ Bible Videos.
