• Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου.

• ὁ δὲ Ἰωάννης διεκώλυεν αὐτὸν λέγων, Ἐγὼ χρείαν ἔχω ὑπὸ σοῦ βαπτισθῆναι, καὶ σὺ ἔρχῃ πρός με;

But John restrained him, saying, "I need have by you to.be.baptized, and you come to me?"

• ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, Ἄφες ἄρτι, οὕτως γὰρ πρέπον ἐστὶν ἡμῖν πληρῶσαι πᾶσαν δικαιοσύνην.

But answering the Jesus said to him, "Allow now, thus for fitting is for.us to.fulfill all righteousness."

• τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτόν.

immediately going.up from the water, he saw being.torn the heavens and coming.down Spirit the Holy in.bodily form as dove upon him.

• καὶ ἰδοὺ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν λέγουσα, Σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα.

And behold a voice came from the heavens, saying, "You are my beloved Son; in whom I take delight."
