Matthew 14:23The Passion TranslationAfter the crowds dispersed, Jesus went up into the hills to pray. And as night fell he was there praying alone. See the chapter |
One day, Jesus came to be baptized along with all the others. As he was consumed with the spirit of prayer, the heavenly realm ripped open above him and the Holy Spirit descended from heaven in the form of a dove and landed on him. Then God’s audible voice was heard, saying, “My Son, you are my beloved one. Through you I am fulfilled.”
