Matthew 3:13-17 - The Baptism Of Jesus

Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then came Jesus from Galilee unto Jordan to John, that he might be baptized by him. 14 But John earnestly withheld him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

15 But Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he permitted him.

16 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: 17 and lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom is my delight.

Mark 1:9-11

9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan. 10 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: 11 and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

Luke 3:21-22

21 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, 22 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.
