Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. But John tried to talk Him out of it. “I am the one who needs to be baptized by You,” he said, “so why are You coming to me?”
But Jesus said, It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize Him.
After His baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and setting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings Me great joy.” (vv. 13-17, NLT)
