When Jesus was thirty years old, He came to John at the Jordan to be
baptized. John said: I have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou
to me? Jesus answered: Suffer it now; for thus it becometh us to fulfill
all righteousness. Then John baptized Him. And when Jesus went up from
the water, lo, the heavens were opened, and the Spirit of God descended
on Him in the form of a dove, and there came a voice out of the heavens,
saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Matt.
3:13-17.)
