Matthew 3:13-17
Matthew 3:13-17
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the
Jordan to be baptized by John. But
John tried to deter him, saying, "I
need to be baptized by you, and do
you come to me?" Jesus replied,
"Let it be so now; it is proper for
us to do this to fulfill all
righteousness."
Matthew 3:13-17
Then John consented. As soon as Jesus
was baptized, he went up out of
the water. At that moment heaven
was opened, and he saw the Spirit
of God descending like a dove and
lighting on him. And a voice from
heaven said, "This is my Son,
whom I love; with him I am well
pleased."
