Matthew 3:13-17 - The Baptism Of Jesus

¹³ Then Jesus came on the scene from Galilee, to get baptized by John at the Jordan. ¹⁴ John tried to prevent him; "I need to get baptized by you," he said, "and you come to me!"

¹⁵ But Jesus answered him, "Come now, this is how we should fulfil all our duty to God." Then John gave in to him.

¹⁶ Now when Jesus had been baptized, the moment he rose out of the water, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove upon him. ¹⁷ And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, the Beloved, in him is my delight."

⁹ Now it was in those days that Jesus arrived from Nazaret in Galilee and got baptized in the Jordan by John. ¹⁰ And the moment he rose from the water he saw the heavens cleft and the Spirit coming down upon him like a dove; ¹¹ then said a voice from heaven, 'Thou art my Son, the Beloved, in thee is my delight.'

²¹ Now when all the people had been baptized and when Jesus had been baptized and was praying, heaven opened ²² and the holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my son, the Beloved, to-day have I become thy father."
