The Baptism of Jesus
13 (A)Then Jesus *arrived (B)from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us (C)to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *permitted Him. 16 And after being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and [a](D)he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon Him, 17 and behold, there was a voice out of the heavens saying, “(E)This is [b]My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”

31 I did not know [a]Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing with water.” 32 And John (A)bore witness saying, “(B)I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He abided on Him. 33 And I did not know [b]Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, (C)this is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I myself have seen, and have borne witness that this is (D)the Son of God.”
