13 Then Jesus came from Galilee, to John at the Jordan, in order to be baptized by him.
14 But John refused him, saying, 'I ought to be baptized by you, and yet you come to me?'
15 And responding, Jesus said to him: 'Permit this for now. For in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all justice.' Then he allowed him.
16 And Jesus, having been baptized, ascended from the water immediately, and behold, the heavens were opened to him. And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him.
17 And behold, there was a voice from heaven, saying: 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'
