Text:
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee,
To Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
But John forbad Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized of Thee,
And comest Thou to me?”
Jesus answered and said to him,
“Suffer it to be so now,
For thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.”
And Jesus, when He was baptized went up straightway out of the water.
And lo, the heavens were opened unto Him,
And He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove,
Descending and lighting upon Him.
And lo, a voice from heaven saying:
“This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
