Genesis 1:1-5

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light. And there was light.

And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided between the light and the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Psalm 29

A Psalm of David.

29 Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth,—Jehovah upon great waters.

The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:

And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.

The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

10 Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.

11 Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

Acts 19:1-7

19 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,

he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].

And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.

And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.

And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.

And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

And all the men were about twelve.

Mark 1:4-11

There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.

And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.

*I* indeed have baptised you with water, but *he* shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit.

And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.

10 And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.

11 And there came a voice out of the heavens: *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.
