The Baptism of Jesus
Then Jesus came from
Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. But John would have hindered him,
saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
But Jesus, answering,
said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting
way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.
Jesus, when he was
baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were
opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming
on him. Behold, a voice
out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well
pleased."
