Matthew 3:13-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan, to John, to be baptized by him.

¹⁴ But John earnestly hindered Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You! And You come to me?”

¹⁵ Then Jesus, answering, said to him, “Let it be for now. For it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness.” So, he permitted Him.

¹⁶ And Jesus, when He was baptized, came straight out of the water. And lo, the heavens were opened to Him. And the Spirit of God was seen, descending like a Dove, and lighting upon Him.

¹⁷ And lo, a voice came from Heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well-pleased.”
