Matthew 3:14-17 But John tried to discourage Him from being immersed, saying, “I should be immersed by you, and you are coming to me for immersion?”

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But John tried to discourage Him [from being immersed], saying, “I should be immersed by you, and you are coming to me [for immersion]?” ¹⁵ But Jesus answered him, “Allow it [to be done], for it is proper for us to complete everything that is right [before God].” So, John agreed to it. ¹⁶ After Jesus was immersed [by John], He came up out of the water and heaven was opened up before Him and He saw the Holy Spirit from God descending, as a dove, and landing upon Him. ¹⁷ Then a voice came out of heaven, saying, “This is my dearly loved Son. I am very pleased with Him.”
