New Testament

Matthew 3:14-17 New Century Version (NCV)

14. But John tried to stop him, saying, “Why do you come to me to be baptized? I need to be baptized by you!”

15. Jesus answered, “Let it be this way for now. We should do all things that are God’s will.” So John agreed to baptize Jesus.

16. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven opened, and he saw God’s Spirit coming down on him like a dove.

17. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love, and I am very pleased with him.”
