:A reading from the Holy Gospel
according to St. Matthew.
Response
:Glory to You, Oh Lord.
Mt 3:13-17

Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be

baptized by him. John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to
be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?” Jesus
said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to
fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him. After Jesus
was baptized, he came up from the water, and behold, the
heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice
came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with
whom I am well pleased.”
