The Baptism of Jesus
Mark 1:9-11
- About that time Jesus came from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to the place where John was and John baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.
- Immediately, as Jesus was coming up out of the water, John saw heaven open and The Holy Spirit came down and rested on Jesus like a dove,
- A voice spoke to him from heaven. It said, “You are my Son, and I love you. I am very pleased with you.”
Matthew 3:13-17
- Then Jesus came from Galilee to John to be baptized by him in the Jordan River.
- But John tried to stop him, saying, “Why do you come to me to be baptized? I need to be baptized by you!”
- Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
- After Jesus was baptized, just as he was coming up out of the water, the heavens opened and John saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting upon Jesus.
- And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
Luke 3:21-22
- Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also was baptized. And while he was praying, the heavens opened,
- and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my one dear Son; in you I take great delight.”
