THE RIVER JORDAN
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But
John tried to deter Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and do
You come to me?"
Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all
righteousness." Then John consented.
As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. At that
moment heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove and alighting on Him. An
d a voice from heaven said, "This
is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased."
