In context

¹³At that time Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.

¹⁴But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?”

¹⁵“Let it be so now,” Jesus replied. “It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness in this way.” Then John permitted Him.

¹⁶As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him.

¹⁷And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
