SCRIPTURE
Matthew 3: 13-17
(Mat 3:13 NRSV) Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.
(Mat 3:14 NRSV) John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?"
(Mat 3:15 NRSV) But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness." Then he consented.
(Mat 3:16 NRSV) And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
(Mat 3:17 NRSV) And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."
