The Baptism of Jesus

²¹ When all the people were baptised,^(A) Jesus also was baptised. As he was praying,^(B) heaven opened,^{(C) 22} and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical appearance like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my beloved Son; with you I am well-pleased.’^(D)

³¹ I didn’t know him,^(A) but I came baptising with water so that he might be revealed^(B) to Israel.’ ³² And John testified, ‘I saw the Spirit^(C) descending from heaven like a dove, and he rested on him.^{(D) 33} I didn’t know him, but he who sent me to baptise with water told me, “The one you see the Spirit descending and resting on – he is the one who baptises with the Holy Spirit.”^{(E) 34} I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.’^[a](F)
