Matthew 3:13 παραγίνεται comes

At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

Here: Present tense in a past story ('arrives'), which makes the narration vivid. It is the same verb and tense Matthew used for John's own appearance in 3:1, so the two arrivals are set side by side.
