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 to happen now, for this is the proper way for us to fulfill all righteousness.| Then he allowed him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water; and look, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him.
