Matthew 3:13-17 - The Baptism Of Jesus

¹³ Just at that time Jesus, coming from Galilee to the Jordan, presents Himself to John to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ John protested. "It is I," he said, "who have need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"

¹⁵ "Let it be so on this occasion," Jesus replied; "for so we ought to fulfil every religious duty." Then he consented;

¹⁶ and Jesus was baptized, and immediately went up from the water. At that moment the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him, ¹⁷ while a voice came from Heaven, saying, "This is My Son, the dearly loved, in whom is My delight."

⁹ At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan; ¹⁰ and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him; ¹¹ and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."

²¹ Now when all the people had been baptized, and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the sky opened, ²² and the Holy Spirit came down in bodily shape, like a dove, upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, "Thou art My Son, dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
