About the baptism of Jesus
Jesus' baptism is described three passages of scripture:- Matthew 3: 13-17
- Mark 1:4-11
- Luke 3:15-17, 21-22
The events described in each one are similar: John is baptising
and teaching that someone greater than him is coming. After he baptises
Jesus the Spirit descends like a dove, and God proclaims "You are my Son, the
Beloved, my favour rests on you".
The Gospel of John does not include the baptism of Jesus, but says that the
place where it happened, Bethany Beyond the Jordan, is where Jesus public
ministry started.
