THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
The Baptism of Christ, Andrea del Verrocchio and Leonardo da Vinci,
c. 1475, Uffizi. [PD-US]
The people were filled
with expectation,
and all were asking in their hearts
whether John might be the Christ.
John answered them all, saying,
“I am baptizing you with water,
but one mightier than I is coming.
I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his
sandals.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
After all the people had been baptized
and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying,
heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended
upon him
in bodily form like a dove.
And a voice came from heaven,
“You are my beloved Son;
with you I am well pleased.”
Luke 3:15-16, 21-22
