The
Baptism of Jesus
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do
you come to me?" But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for thus it is
fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness." Then he consented. And when
Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the
heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and
alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved
Son, with whom I am well pleased."
Matthew 3:13-17
