What does Matthew 3:13-14 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

John hesitated to baptize Jesus because he believed that Jesus did not need to repent.

It is unlikely that John meant that he wanted the Spirit and fire baptism of Jesus. John did not know that Jesus was the Messiah until after he had baptized Him ( John 1:31-34).
