New Living Translation

The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus

⁹ One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. ¹⁰ As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on him^[a] like a dove. ¹¹ And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”
