Epiphany Scripture January 6 2021

Mark 1:9-11

At that time, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 

And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, 

    “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3:13-17

At that time, Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 

John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 

But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now; for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” 

Then he consented. 

And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; 

and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
