Matthew 3:13-17
The Baptism of Jesus

13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

13:

14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?

14:

15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so] now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

15:

16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

16:

17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

17:
