Amplified Bible
Matthew 3:13-17
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan [River], to be baptized by him.
14But John tried to prevent Him [vigorously protesting], saying, “It is I who need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”
15But Jesus replied to him, “Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John permitted [it and baptized] Him.
16After Jesus was baptized, He came up immediately out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he (John) saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him (Jesus),
17and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased and delighted!”
