Matthew 3:13-17 - The Baptism Of Jesus

¹³ At that very time Jesus was on his way from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ But he tried to prevent him. "It is I," he said, "who need to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?"

¹⁵ But Jesus answered, "Permit it now, for so it is fitting for us to fulfill every religious duty."

¹⁶ Then he consented. And after Jesus was baptized, as soon as he rose out of the water, lo! the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon him, ¹⁷ while a voice from heaven said, "This is my son, the beloved, In whom I delight."

⁹ It was at that time that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan; ¹⁰ and as soon as he rose from the water he saw the sky cleft asunder, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him, ¹¹ and a voice from the sky. "Thou art my Son, my beloved; in thee is my delight."

²¹ Now after all the people had been baptized, and Jesus himself had been baptized and was praying, ²² heaven opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form like a dove, descended upon him. and a voice came out of heaven, saying. "Thou art my Son, dearly beloved; in thee is my delight."
