1 Baptized by John
<p><b>Matthew 3:13-17 (ESV) </b>
<sup>13 </sup> Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
<sup>14 </sup> John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
<sup>15 </sup> But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented.
<sup>16 </sup> And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him;
<sup>17 </sup> and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
