Baptism of Jesus
Jesus came from Galilee to river Jordon to be baptized by John the baptist.

Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness”
When Jesus was baptised, the heavens opened, he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on him
A voice also spoke from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
