Matthew 3:13-17 CSB Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the

Jordan, to be baptized by him. But John tried to stop Him, saying, "I

need to be baptized by You, and yet You come to me?" Jesus answered

him, "Allow it for now, because this is the way for us to fulfill all

righteousness." Then he allowed Him to be baptized. After Jesus was

baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens suddenly

opened for Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove

and coming down on Him. And there came a voice from heaven: "This is

My beloved Son. I take delight in Him!"
