Matthew 3:13-15

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

When Jesus Is Baptized, The Spirit Descends Upon Him And His Father Expresses His Pleasure

¹³ Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John that He might be baptized by him. ¹⁴ But John was preventing Him, saying, “I have a need to be baptized by You, and You are coming to me?” ¹⁵ But having responded, Jesus said to him, “Permit it at this time. For it is fitting^[a] for us to fulfill all righteousness in this manner”. Then he permits Him.
