13–17. JESUS COMES TO BE BAPTIZED OF JOHN

Mar 1:9-11; Luk 3:21-22; Joh 1:32-34.

St Luke adds two particulars: that the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus (1) “in a bodily shape,” and (2) “while He was praying.”

In the fourth Gospel, where John Baptist’s own words are quoted, the act of baptism is not named; a touch of the Baptist’s characteristic humility.
