Baptism of Our Lord- Feast Matthew 3: 13 - 17 | |
13 | Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. |
14 | John would have prevented him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" |
15 | But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now; for thus it is fitting for us to fulfil all righteousness." Then he consented. |
16 | And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; |
17 | and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." |
