The Baptism of Jesus
13 jThen Jesus came kfrom Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 lJohn would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, mthe heavens were opened to him, ▼▼Some manuscripts omit to him
and he osaw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; Mark 1:8-9
8 pI have baptized you with water, but qhe will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”The Baptism of Jesus
9 rIn those days Jesus scame from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.Luke 3:16
16 tJohn answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but uhe who is mightier than I is coming, vthe strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you wwith the Holy Spirit and xfire.John 1:25-28
25They asked him, y“Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26John answered them, z“I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27even aahe who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.John 1:31-33
31I myself did not know him, but abfor this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32And John acbore witness: ad“I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and aeit remained on him. 33I myself did not know him, but afhe who sent me to baptize agwith water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, ahthis is he who baptizes aiwith the Holy Spirit.’John 3:23-25
23John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized 24(for ajJohn had not yet been put in prison).25Now a discussion arose between some of John’s disciples and a Jew over akpurification.
