  answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so
  now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all
  righteousness." Then he allowed Him. When He had
  been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the
  water and behold, the heavens were opened to
  Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like

  voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My
  beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (NKJV)

  for He was before me.' "I did not know Him but
  that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore I
  came baptizing with water." And John bore
  witness, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending
  from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon
  Him. "I did not know Him, but He who sent me to
  baptize with water said to me, 'Upon whom you see

  have seen and testified that this is the Son of
