14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 aWhen He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and1 He saw bthe Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 aAnd suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, b“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
