Matthew 3:13-17
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the
Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to
prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by
You, and are You coming to me?" But Jesus
answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so
now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all
righteousness." Then he allowed Him. When He
had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately
from the water; and behold, the heavens were
opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
And suddenly a voice came from heaven,
saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased." (NKJV)
Mark 1:9-11
It came to pass in those days that Jesus
came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was
baptized by John in the Jordan. And
immediately, coming up from the water,
He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit
descending upon Him like a dove. Then a
voice came from heaven, "You are My
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
(NKJV)
John 1:29-34
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him,
and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world! "This is He of whom I
said, 'After me comes a Man who is preferred
before me, for He was before me.' "I did not know
Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel,
therefore I came baptizing with water." And John
bore witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending
from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon
Him. "I did not know Him, but He who sent me to
baptize with water said to me, 'Upon whom you
see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him,
this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' "And I
have seen and testified that this is the Son of
God." (NKJV)
