13 Then Jesus came from Galilee
to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14 But
John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for
us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized
(in the Near Death Experience by which John would hold people under the water), he went up out of the water. At that moment
heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God, (in the form of The Elijah), descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And
a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, (The Elijah), whom
I love; with him I am well pleased.”
