THE BAPTISM OF JESUS

Matthew 3:13-17

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan

To be baptized by John.

14 But John tried to deter Him, saying,

'I NEED TO BE BAPTIZED BY YOU,

AND DO YOU COME TO ME?'

15 Jesus replied,

'LET IT BE SO NOW;

ITIS PROPER FOR US T DO THIS

TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.'

AT THAT MOMENT HEAVEN WAS OPENED,

AND HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD

DECENDING LIKE A DOVE

AND LIGHTING ON HIM.

17 AND A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAID,

'THIS IS MY SON, WHOM I LOVE;

WITH HIM I AM WELL PLEASED.'

(Matthew 3:13-17)
