The baptism of Jesus is a significant event in the New Testament, and it is recorded in Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, and Luke 3:21-23a. In this event, Jesus travels to the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. As Jesus comes up out of the water, the Holy Spirit descends upon him in the form of a dove, and a voice from heaven declares, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."
This event marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry and emphasizes the importance of baptism and submission to God's will. It also reveals the unity of the Trinity and the divine nature of Jesus as the Son of God. The baptism of Jesus serves as a powerful example and encouragement for all Christians to follow in his footsteps and live a life of humility and obedience to God's will.
