Matthew 3:13-17 - The Baptism Of Jesus

Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be immersed by him. 14 But John was preventing him, saying, I have need to be immersed by thee, and thou come to me?

15 But having answered, Jesus said to him, Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allows him.

16 And when Jesus was immersed, he went up straightaway out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon him. 17 And lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mark 1:9-11

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan. 10 And straightaway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens divided, and the Spirit descending upon him as a dove. 11 And a voice occurred out of the heavens, Thou are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Luke 3:21-22

21 Now it came to pass, during the immersion of all the people, Jesus also having been immersed and praying, for the heaven to be opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit to descend in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and a voice to occur out of heaven, saying, Thou are my beloved Son. In thee I am well pleased.
