At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee. John baptized Jesus in the Jordan River.
There he lived in a town called Nazareth. So what the prophets had said about Jesus came true. They had said that he would be called a Nazarene.
Jesus was coming up out of the water. Just then he saw heaven being torn open. Jesus saw the Holy Spirit coming down on him like a dove.
I baptize you with water. But he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
Then he went back to Nazareth with them, and he obeyed them. But his mother kept all these things like a secret treasure in her heart.
That time began when John was baptizing. It ended when Jesus was taken up from us. The one we choose must join us in telling people that Jesus rose from the dead.”
