Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad Him, saying, I have need to be baptized of Thee, and yet comest Thou to me? And Jesus answering said, Suffer it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. And Jesus, when He was babtized went up straightway out of the water, and, lo, the heavens were opened unto Him and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon Him. And lo, a Voice from Heaven saying, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3:13-17
