Jesus gets Baptized

Matthew 3, 13-17

JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTIZES AT A RIVER (JORDAN). MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE.

THE BAPTISM OF JOHN SHOWS THAT ONE IS READY AND OPEN FOR GOD.

JESUS COMES TO THE RIVER. HE TELLS JOHN: “PLEASE BAPTIZE ME!“

JOHN ANSWERS: “NO! YOU SHOULD BAPTIZE ME!“

JESUS ANSWERS: “NO! BAPTIZE ME! GOD WANTS THAT!“

JOHN SAYS: “YES! COME, AND I WILL BAPTIZE YOU!“

AFTER THE BAPTISM, THE SKY OPENS. JESUS SEES GOD'S SPIRIT COMING DOWN ON HIM LIKE A DOVE.

GOD SPEAKS FROM HEAVEN. HE SAYS ABOUT JESUS: „THIS IS MY SON AND I LOVE HIM. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH HIM!“
