Matthew 3:15 in Context — Matthew 3
13 Alors Jésus vint de la Galilée au Jourdain vers Jean, pour être baptisé par lui.
14 Mais Jean s’y opposait, en disant: C’est moi qui ai besoin d’être baptisé par toi, et tu viens à moi!
15 Jésus lui répondit: Laisse faire maintenant, car il est convenable que nous accomplissions ainsi tout ce qui est juste. Et Jean ne lui résista plus.
16 Dès que Jésus eut été baptisé, il sortit de l’eau. Et voici, les cieux s’ouvrirent, et il vit l’Esprit de Dieu descendre comme une colombe et venir sur lui.
17 Et voici, une voix fit entendre des cieux ces paroles: Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j’ai mis toute mon affection.
