| 0:00.0 | The gospels tell us that Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River and that the Holy Spirit descended on him like a dove. |
| 0:07.6 | The pictures, the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus, that Jesus is the one who is really going to lead people into the land of rest, into the glory of salvation. |
| 0:21.4 | And so Jesus, the gospels tell us, is anointed by the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:34.8 | John the Baptist was reluctant to baptize Jesus. He seemed perplexed when he said, |
| 0:40.4 | I need to be baptized by you and do you come to me? |
| 0:44.6 | Jesus answered that it was necessary to fulfill all righteousness. |
