Matthew 3:13-16

13At that timeG5119 JesusG2424 cameG3854 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1909 theG3588 JordanG2446 to be baptizedG907 byG5259 John. 14ButG1161 JohnG2491 tried to preventG1254 HimG846, sayingG3004, “IG1473 needG2192G5532 to be baptizedG907 byG5259 YouG4771, andG2532 do YouG4771 comeG2064 toG4314 meG1473?”

15“Let it be soG863 nowG737,” JesusG2424 repliedG611G2036G4314G846. “It isG1510 fittingG4241 for usG1473 to fulfillG4137 allG3956 righteousnessG1343 in this wayG3779.” ThenG5119 John permittedG863 HimG846.

16As soon asG1161G2112 Jesus was baptizedG907, HeG2424 went upG305 out ofG575 theG3588 waterG5204. SuddenlyG2400 theG3588 heavensG3772 were openedG455,1 andG2532 He sawG37082 theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG3588 GodG2316 descendingG2597 likeG5616 a doveG4058 andG2532 restingG2064 onG1909 HimG846.
