| 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be
baptized by John.
14 But John tried to deter him, saying, \"I need to be
baptized by you, and do you come to me?\"
15 Jesus replied, \"Let it be so now; it is proper for us
to do this to fulfill all righteousness.\" Then John
consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of
the water. At that moment heaven was opened,
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
and lighting on him.
17 And a voice from heaven said, \"This is my Son,
whom I love; with him I am well pleased.\"
