Matthew 3:14-16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 But John [a]protested strenuously, having in mind to prevent Him, saying, It is I who have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?
15 But Jesus replied to him, [b]Permit it just now; for this is the fitting way for [both of] us to fulfill all righteousness [that is, to [c]perform completely whatever is right]. Then he permitted Him.
16 And when Jesus was baptized, He went up at once out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he [John] saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on Him.
