| 13. | Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him. | Tunc venit Jesus a Galilæa in Jordanem ad Joannem, ut baptizaretur ab eo. | τοτε παραγινεται ο ιησους απο της γαλιλαιας επι τον ιορδανην προς τον ιωαννην του βαπτισθηναι υπ αυτου |
| 14. | But John stayed him, saying: I ought to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me? | Joannes autem prohibebat eum, dicens : Ego a te debeo baptizari, et tu venis ad me ? | ο δε ιωαννης διεκωλυεν αυτον λεγων εγω χρειαν εχω υπο σου βαπτισθηναι και συ ερχη προς με |
| 15. | And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice. Then he suffered him. | Respondens autem Jesus, dixit ei : Sine modo : sic enim decet nos implere omnem justitiam. Tunc dimisit eum. | αποκριθεις δε ο ιησους ειπεν προς αυτον αφες αρτι ουτως γαρ πρεπον εστιν ημιν πληρωσαι πασαν δικαιοσυνην τοτε αφιησιν αυτον |
| 16. | And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him: and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him. | Baptizatus autem Jesus, confestim ascendit de aqua, et ecce aperti sunt ei cæli : et vidit Spiritum Dei descendentem sicut columbam, et venientem super se. | και βαπτισθεις ο ιησους ανεβη ευθυς απο του υδατος και ιδου ανεωχθησαν αυτω οι ουρανοι και ειδεν το πνευμα του θεου καταβαινον ωσει περιστεραν και ερχομενον επ αυτον |
| 17. | And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. | Et ecce vox de cælis dicens : Hic est Filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi complacui. | και ιδου φωνη εκ των ουρανων λεγουσα ουτος εστιν ο υιος μου ο αγαπητος εν ω ευδοκησα |
