The Baptism of the Lord
-----
☆ Gospel:Matthew 3:13-17
13
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.
14
But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?
15
But Jesus made answer, saying to him, Let it be so now: because so it is right for us to make righteousness complete. Then he gave him baptism.
16
And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove;
17
And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

☆ Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7
1
See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.
2
He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.
3
He will not let a crushed stem be quite broken, and he will not let a feebly burning light be put out: he will go on sending out the true word to the peoples.
4
His light will not be put out, and he will not be crushed, till he has given the knowledge of the true God to the earth, and the sea-lands will be waiting for his teaching.
6
I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
7
To give eyes to the blind, to make free the prisoners from the prison, to let out those who are shut up in the dark.

☆ Acts 10:34-38
34
Then Peter said, Truly, I see clearly that God is no respecter of persons:
35
But in every nation, the man who has fear of him and does righteousness is pleasing to him.
36
The word which he sent to the children of Israel, giving the good news of peace through Jesus Christ (who is Lord of all)--
37
That word you yourselves have knowledge of, which was made public through all Judaea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism of which John was the preacher,
38
About Jesus of Nazareth, how God gave the Holy Spirit to him, with power: and how he went about doing good and making well all who were troubled by evil spirits, for God was with him.
