Matthew

The Baptism of Jesus

3
Chapter 3
13 Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?" 15 But Jesus answered him, "Allow it now, for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allows him. 16 And having been baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water. And behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon him. 17 And behold, a voice from the heavens saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I have taken delight."
