Matthew 3:15-17

New King James Version

¹⁵ But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

^16 (A)When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and ^[a]He saw ^(B)the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. ^17 (C)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ^(D)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
