⁹ It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

²³ and came and lived in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."

¹³ Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.

¹⁴ But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"

¹⁵ But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him.

¹⁶ Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.

¹⁷ Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

²¹ Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened,

²² and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying "You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased."
