Chapter 20
Jesus Christ was without sin, yet He was baptized. He said His baptism was necessary "to fulfil all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15). The prophet Nephi explained that the Lord told him, "Follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do ... with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism" (2 Nephi 31:12-13).
