Jesus arrived from Galilee and asked John the Baptist to baptize him in the Jordan River. John objected, saying he felt unworthy to baptize Jesus. However, Jesus insisted it was necessary to fulfill God's requirements. After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens opened and the Spirit of God descended on him like a dove with a voice from heaven declaring "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
