  • A 13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
    • B 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
      • C 15a And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness.
    • B' 15b Then he suffered him.
  • A' 16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
