3. The baptism of Jesus: Luke 3:21-23 After all the people had been baptized, Jesus also was baptized. While he was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit came down upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, "You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you." When Jesus began his work, he was about thirty years old. (GN)
