The Baptism of Jesus
13
Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him.
14
John would have
prevented him, saying, I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?
15
But Jesus
answered him, Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he
consented.
16
And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and
behold, the heavens were opened to him,
[a]
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
and coming to rest on him;
17
and behold, a voice from heaven said, This is my beloved
Son,
[b]
with whom I am well pleased.
Immediately after His baptism, Jesus went into the
desert. (Mt.4:1-4)
While Jesus was in the desert, he was tempted by the
devil, promising him wealth and power.
Jesus reply to the devil was Man does not live by bread
alone, but by every word that comes from the Mouth
of God.
After 40 days and 40 nights in the desert, Jesus said
Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. (Mt. 4:12-
22)
Return to Nazareth, Galilee

Baptist was beheaded by Herod

Along the Sea, Jesus was teaching the crowd; He saw a man

collector). Jesus told Levi to follow Him, and he did. At

and his disciples.
