The baptism of Jesus

13At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”

15“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

16As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.

17And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”

9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.

11And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

21When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

30This is He of whom I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.’

31I myself did not know Him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that He might be revealed to Israel.”

32Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove and resting on Him.

33I myself did not know Him, but the One who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is He who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’

34I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
