9
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

And immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him;
11
and a voice came from the heavens: 'You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.'

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

13
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
