John Chapter 4, Verse 2
From BibleWiki
2: καιτοιγε ιησους αυτος ουκ εβαπτιζεν αλλ οι μαθηται αυτου
2: (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
2: (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
Though Jesus himself baptized not. The reason why Jesus did not baptize was probably because, if he had baptized, it might have made unhappy divisions among his followers: those might have considered themselves most worthy or honoured who had been baptized by him. Comp. 1Cor 1:17.
