¹³ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ But John protested strenuously, having in mind to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me? ¹⁵ But Jesus replied to him, Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness . Then he permitted Him. ¹⁶ And when Jesus was baptized, He went up at once out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him. ¹⁷ And behold, a voice from heaven said, This is My Son, My Beloved, in Whom I delight!
