¹³ Then Jesus came from Galilee to John to be baptized by him in the Jordan River. ¹⁴ But John tried to prevent him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?" ¹⁵ So Jesus replied to him, "Let it happen now, for it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then John yielded to him. ¹⁶ After Jesus was baptized, just as he was coming up out of the water, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming on him. ¹⁷ And a voice from heaven said, "This is my one dear Son; in him I take great delight."
