Lesson 3
Lesson Text: John 1:29-34
(Our questions will also come from the other witness accounts in Matthew and Luke)
The
next day John
saw Jesus coming toward 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 did not know Him; but that He should be revealed to Israel, therefore
I came baptizing with water.”
And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:29-34).
Then
Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried
to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You
coming to me?”
But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now,
for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed
Him.
When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:13-17)
When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:21-22)
