Baptism of Jesus
13At that time Jesus arrived from Galilee and came to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14But John tried to prevent him, and said: 
—How is it you come to me: I should be baptized by you!
15But Jesus answered him: 
—Let it be like that for now that we may fulfill the right order. 
John agreed.
16As soon as he was baptized, Jesus came up from the water. At once, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God come down like a dove and rest upon him. 17At the same time a voice from heaven was heard: “This is my Son, the Beloved; he is my Chosen One.”
