Matthew 3:13-17

Living_Oracles(i) 13 Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, to be immersed by John. 14 But John excused himself, saying, It is I who need to be immersed by you; and you come to me! 15 Jesus answering, said to him, Permit this at present; for thus ought we to ratify every institution. Then John acquiesced. 16 Jesus being immersed, no sooner arose out of the water, than heaven was opened to him; and the Spirit of God appeared, descending like a dove, and lighting upon him; 17 while a voice from heaven proclaimed, This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight.
