Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan
to be baptized by him.
John tried to prevent him, saying, "I
need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?"
Jesus said to him in reply, "Allow it now,
for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then
he allowed him. After Jesus was
baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were
opened (for him), and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
(and) coming upon him.
And a voice came from the heavens, saying,
"This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
(Matthew 3:13-17)
