And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and a report went out into all the region round about concerning him. And he taught in their synagogues, being universally admired.

And there was given to him the book of the prophet Isaiah: and unrolling the volume, he found the passage where it is written, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the work whereunto he hath anointed me; he hath sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor; to heal the contrite in heart; to proclaim liberty to the captives; and restore sight to the blind; to send forth the bruised free from bonds; to publish the acceptable year of the Lord."

And I did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost. And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.
And Jesus, after his baptism, came straight from the water: and lo! the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as it were a dove, and coming upon him: and lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom is my delight.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan. And immediately on going up from the water, he saw the heavens divided by a chasm, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily form, like a dove, upon him, and a voice came from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
