¹³ At that time Jesus arrived from Galilee and came to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ But John tried to make him change his mind. "I ought to be baptized by you," John said, "and yet you have come to me!" ¹⁵ But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so for now. For in this way we shall do all that God requires." So John agreed. ¹⁶ As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and lighting on him. ¹⁷ Then a voice said from heaven, "This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased."
