13 Then came Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be immersed by him. 14 But John forbade him, saying: I have need to be immersed by thee, and comest thou to me? 15 But Jesus answering said to him: Permit it now; for thus it be comes us to perform fully every righteous act. Then he permitted him. 16 And after Jesus was immersed, he came up immediately from the water; and lo, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon him.
