Jesus
Is Baptized By John
(Location:
Bethabara, The Desert Region Of Judea By The Jordan River)
MATTHEW
3:
13 Then Jesus came from
Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But
John tried to deter Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by
You, and do You come to me?" 15 Jesus
replied, "Let
it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all
righteousness." Then John consented. 16 As
soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. At that
moment Heaven was opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove and lighting on Him. 17 And a voice
from Heaven said, "This is My Beloved Son, whom I love; with Him I am
well pleased."
MARK
1:
9 At that time Jesus
came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the
Jordan. 10 As Jesus was coming up out of the
water, He saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on
Him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from
Heaven: "You are My Son, whom I love; with You I am well
pleased."
LUKE
3:
21 After
all the people had been baptized and Jesus had also been baptized
and was praying, Heaven was opened 22 and the
Holy Spirit descended on Him in bodily form like a dove. And a
voice came from Heaven, "You are My beloved Son; with You I
am well pleased."
