Where in the Bible, does it say Jesus went to Bethany to be baptized in the Jordan River?

I found some information that may be helpful.

Bethany across the Jordan is mentioned but once (Joh 1:28) as the place where John was baptizing and, apparently, where he identified Jesus to his disciples as “the Lamb of God.” (Joh 1:35, 36)In the third century Origen substituted the name Bethabara for Bethany, and the King James Version follows this rendering; however, the most reliable manuscripts read Bethany. The site of this Bethany beyond or E of the Jordan is unknown. Some, favoring the traditional location for Jesus’ baptism, would place it across the Jordan opposite Jericho. However, the record at John 1:29, 35, 43; 2:1 seems to indicate a place no more than a day’s journey from Cana of Galilee; while that of John 10:40 and 11:3, 6, 17 may suggest that it lay about two days’ journey from the Bethany that was the home of Lazarus. Thus, a site somewhat S of the Sea of Galilee seems the most likely, but no positive identification is possible.

Not Bethany...rather the wilderness of Judea, which is a barren wasteland extending along the western shore of the Dead Sea. Mat. 3:1.

Jesus was in Bethany to spend the night, but at a different time. See Mat. 21:17.

Then Jesus came from Gal′i·lee to the Jordan to John, in order to be baptized by him. 14 But the latter tried to prevent him, saying: “I am the one needing to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?” 15 In reply Jesus said to him: “Let it be, this time, for in that way it is suitable for us to carry out all that is righteous.” Then he quit preventing him. 16 After being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God’s spirit coming upon him. 17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.” matthew 3: 13-17

SMARTASS QUESTION
WAS THAT THE SATANIC BIBLE?

MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED DISABLED AND POSED
AGAINST OUR WILLS.

THE VILE THINGS THAT DISPARAGE OUR PRESTINE CHARACTER AND ORIENTATION UPON DILIGENT INQUIRY NOT WITH INEFFECTIVE ATTORENYS,

ALWAYS FOUND TO BE PERVERTS AND PROSTITUTES THAT MY RICH IN LAWS PAID TO ASSAULT US THEN MISREPRESENT EVENTS AND

PAID ATTORNEYS TO SUPRESS THE TRUTH OF OUR VIRTUE WITH INEFFECTIVE INTERROGATIONS AND/OR
MANIPULATED THE TRUTH TO GIVE THE "APPEARANCE" OF CULPABILITY


DILIGENT INQUIRY:

WOULD YOU OF YOUR FREE WILL? NO
NO NO
I WE DID NOT
HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN
HAVE ZERO PURIENT INTEREST IN



WE WERE DISABLED, POSED, FORCED!

THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IF EITHER OF US WERE COMPETENT.

REMEDY: PREVENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY(IES) SUBSTANCE(S) FOR ILLICIT PRUPOSES.
