Matthew 3:13-17
Chapter 3
13
At that time, Jesus arrived from Galilee and came to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14
But John tried to prevent him and said:
“How is it you come to me? I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?”
15
But Jesus answered him:
“Let it be like that for now; so that we may fulfill all righteousness.”
Then John agreed.
16
As soon as he was baptized, Jesus came up out of the water. All at once, the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God come down like a dove and rest upon him.
17
At the same time, a voice from heaven was heard:
“This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”
