Matthew 4: 17
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
I think that this passage can be understood that Jesus was teaching baptism to the people. The baptism of John is considered the Baptism of Repentance. Could it be that what Christ is really saying here is: Be baptized, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
