the Baptism of Christ

Then Jesus went from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized by John.
However, John stopped him and said, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?"
  Jesus however replied and told him, "Let it be, for this is decreed for us, for all righteousness to be fulfilled." And he allowed it.

  Then as Jesus was baptized, at once he rose out of the water, and the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and settled upon him.
  And, behold, the voice from heaven that said, "This is my beloved Son, by whom I am fulfilled!" 

St. Matthew 3 vv. 13-17
