The story: Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him; John forbad him, but Jesus said, "Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness." When Jesus was baptized, He went up straightway out of the water, and lo, the heavens were opened unto Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting upon Him. And lo a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
