Baptism of Jesus

Biblical Accounts
And this was his [John the Baptist] message: â€œAfter me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.â€ At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: â€œYou are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.â€ At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. - Mark 1:7-13, NIV

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, &quot;I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?&quot; Jesus replied, &quot;Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.&quot; Then John consented. 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. 17And a voice from heaven said, &quot;This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.&quot; - Matt. 3:13-17, NIV
