Mattityahu 3:13-17

Mattityahu 3:13-17 TOJB2011

Then Yehoshua comes from the Galil to the Yarden to Yochanan, to submit to Yochananʼs tevilah. But Yochanan would have deterred him, saying, I have need to submit to your tevilah, and yet you come to me? But answering him, Yehoshua said, Permit it now, for thus it is proper to fulfill all Tzidkat HASHEM. And having received the tevilah in the Yardenʼs mikveh mayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach immediately came up. And, hinei! The Shomayim were opened to him, and he saw the Ruach Hakodesh of HASHEM descending like a yonah (dove) and coming upon him. And, hinei, a bat kol (a voice from heaven) came out of Shomayim, saying, ZEH BNI AHUVI ASHER BO CHAFATZTI (This is my Son, the beloved, with whom I am well pleased).
