Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But John earnestly withheld him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? ¹⁵ But Jesus answering said unto him, Permit it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he permitted him. ¹⁶ And Jesus, after his baptism, came straight from the water: and lo! the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as it were a dove, and coming upon him: ¹⁷ and lo! a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom is my delight.
