Matthew 3:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ But John tried to stop him, saying, “Why do you come to me to be baptized? I need to be baptized by you!”

¹⁵ Jesus answered, “Let it be this way for now. We should do all things that are God’s will.” So John agreed to baptize Jesus.

¹⁶ As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven opened, and he saw God’s Spirit coming down on him like a dove.
