12. He will come ready to clean the grain. He will separate the good grain from the chaff. He will put the good part of the grain into his barn. And he will burn the chaff with a fire that cannot be put out.”
13. At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River. He came to John and wanted John to baptize him.
14. But John tried to stop him. John said, “Why do you come to me to be baptized? I should be baptized by you!”
15. Jesus answered, “Let it be this way for now. We should do all things that are right.” So John agreed to baptize Jesus.
16. Jesus was baptized and came up out of the water. Heaven opened, and he saw God’s Spirit coming down on him like a dove.
17. And a voice spoke from heaven. The voice said, “This is my Son and I love him. I am very pleased with him.”
