Then Jesus arrived from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him.

But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him.

It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

And John testified, saying, "I have beheld the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

"And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."

Now it came to pass, about eight days after these words, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

And while He was praying, the appearance of His face [became] different, and His clothing [became] white and glistening.

"Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this reason I came to this hour.

Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came out of heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify [it] again."

And having been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon Him.

And behold, a voice came out of the heavens, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I have found delight."

And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit coming down upon Him like a dove.

And John testified, saying, "I have beheld the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

"And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."
