Now it happened, when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized. 

Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. But John would have hindered him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?" 

But Jesus, answering, said to him, "Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed him. Jesus, when he was baptized, he immediately went up directly from the water: and behold, while He was praying, he saw the heavens parting, and the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him. The Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove on him Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years old, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli.

John testified about him. He cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was immediately led by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil for forty days, and he was with the wild animals. He ate nothing in those days, and he had fasted forty days and forty nights. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry. 

The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." 

But Jesus answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" 

Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here. For it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you to guard you,' and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'" 

Jesus answering, said to him, "Again, it is written, 'You shall not test the Lord, your God.'" 

Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, in a moment of time. And the devil said to him, "I will give you all of these things, all this authority, and their glory, if you will fall down and worship me. for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want." If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours." 

Then Jesus said to him, "Go away. Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'" 

When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time. And behold, angels came and served him.

This is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" 

He declared, and didn't deny, but he declared, "I am not the Christ." 

They asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" 

He said, "I am not." 

"Are you the prophet?" 

He answered, "No." 

They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?" 

He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said." 

The ones who had been sent were from the Pharisees. 
They asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?" 

John answered them, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you don't know. He is the one who comes after me, who is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen." These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.' I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel." John testified, saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God."

Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" 

They said to him, "Rabbi" (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), "where are you staying?" 

He said to them, "Come, and see." 

They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about the tenth hour. One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah!" (which is, being interpreted, Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is by interpretation, Peter). On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. Jesus said to him, "Follow me." Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." 

Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" 

Philip said to him, "Come and see." 

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!" 

Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" 

Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." 

Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!" 

Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these!" He said to him, "Most certainly, I tell you, hereafter you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
