Baris 19:
Banyak pertanyaan muncul di sekitar baptisan Yesus oleh Yohanes Pembaptis, berkenaan dengan apakah Yesus berdosa sehingga perlu dibaptis. Para teolog menyimpulkan bahwa baptisan Yesus mempunyai makna yang lain. Baptisan ini dimaksudkan sebagai tanda solidaritas Yesus dengan manusia yang berdosa. Perlu diketahui pula bahwa sakramen baptisan sebenarnya sarana Allah untuk menghapus dosa manusia. Setelah pembaptisan, dosa asal dan dosa pribadi seseorang dihapuskan. Namun, pembaptisan bukan tanda bahwa orang itu pasti masuk surga. Orang tersebut juga masih bebas memilih perbuatan kudus atau perbuatan dosa. Demikian pula Yesus dibaptis sebagai simbol dimulainya pelayanan pengabaran Kerajaan Surga yang dilakukannya selama tiga tahun hingga Yesus mati [[Penyaliban Yesus|disalibkan]].
:"Moreover, those things which were created from the waters were blessed by God, so that this might also be a sign that men would at a future time receive repentance and remission of sins through water and the bath of regeneration -- all who proceed to the truth and are born again and receive a blessing from God" - St. Theophilus of Antioch, To Autolycus 2:16 (c. A.D. 181)▼

:"And [Naaman] dipped himself...seven times in the Jordan" [2 Kings 5:14]. It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but [this served] as an indication to us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean, by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord, from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as new-born babes, even as the Lord has declared: "Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." - St. Irenaeus of Lyons, Fragments 34 (c. A.D. 190).▼

:"When we are baptized, we are enlightened. Being enlightened, we are adopted as sons. Adopted as sons, we are made perfect. Made perfect, we become immortal...."and sons all of the Most High" [Psalm 82:6]. This work is variously called grace, illumination, perfection, and washing. It is a washing by which we are cleansed of sins; a gift of grace by which the punishments due our sins are remitted; an illumination by which we behold that holy light of salvation -- that is, by which we see God clearly; and we call that perfection which leaves nothing lacking. Indeed, if a man know God, what more does he need? Certainly it were out of place to call that which is not complete a true gift of God's grace. Because God is perfect, the gifts He bestows are perfect". - St. Clement of Alexandria, The Instructor of Children 1:6:26:1 (ante A.D. 202)▼

Sebelum Yohanes Pembaptis tidak ada sakramen pembaptisan, dan sebelum kedatangan Yesus, Yohanes hanya membaptis dengan air, namun seperti yang dinubuatkan oleh Yohanes bahwa setelah Yesus orang akan dibaptis dengan Roh. Pada saat orang percaya kepada Yesus, mengakui dosa-dosanya (kepada Yesus melalui imam yang tertahbis), dan dibaptis, maka orang tersebut telah menerima Roh/telah dibaptis oleh Roh.
DIDACHE (as early as 70 AD) -- Confess your sins in church, and do not go up to your prayer with an evil conscience. This is the way of life....On the Lord's Day gather together, break bread, and give thanks, after confessing your transgressions so that your sacrifice may be pure. (4:14; 14:1)

ST. CYPRIAN OF CARTHAGE (250 AD) -- The Apostle likewise bears witness and says: ...."Whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord" [1 Cor 11:27]. But [the impenitent] spurn and despise all these warnings; before their sins are expiated, before they have made a confession of their crime, before their conscience has been purged in the ceremony and at the hand of the priest...they do violence to his body and blood, and with their hands and mouth they sin against the Lord more than when they denied him. (The Lapsed 15:1-3)

ST. ATHANASIUS OF ALEXANDRIA (295 - 373 AD) -- Just as a man is enlightened by the Holy Spirit when he is baptized by a priest, so he who confesses his sins with a repentant heart obtains their remission from the priest. (On the Gospel of Luke 19)

ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO (c. 354 - 430 AD) -- Let this be in the heart of the penitent: when you hear a man confessing his sins, he has already come to life again; when you hear a man lay bare his conscience in confessing, he has already come forth from the sepulchre; but he is not yet unbound. When is he unbound? By whom is he unbound? "Whatever you loose on earth," He says, "shall be loosed also in heaven" [Mt 16:19; 18:18; Jn 20:23]. Rightly is the loosing of sins able to be given by the Church... (Psalms 101:2:3)
