Then he suffered him. 16And Iesus, when hee was baptized, went vp straightway out of the water: and loe, the heauens were opened vnto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a doue, and lighting vpon him. 17And loe, a voice from heauen, saying, This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased.
