Matthew 3:13-17

Matthew 3:13-17 EASY

Then Jesus went from Galilee to the Jordan River. He wanted John to baptize him. But John tried to stop him. He said to Jesus, ‘I should ask you to baptize me. You should not ask me to baptize you.’ Jesus replied, ‘This time, do what I ask you to do. We must do everything correctly, as God wants it.’ So John did what Jesus asked him to do. When John baptized him, Jesus came up out of the water. At that moment, the skies opened. Jesus saw God's Spirit coming down. He came down like a dove and he stayed on Jesus. Then a voice spoke from heaven, which said, ‘This man is my Son and I love him. He makes me very happy.’
