The Baptism of Jesus

13 ^aThen Jesus came ^bfrom Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 ^cJohn would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, ^dthe heavens were opened to him, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit to him} and he ^fsaw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, ^ga voice from heaven said, ^h“This is my beloved Son, ^{▼▼Or my Son, my (or the) Beloved} with whom I am well pleased.”
