15 As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning ^sJohn, whether he might be ^tthe Christ, 16 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you ^uwith water, ^vbut he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the ^wHoly Spirit and fire.

21 ^dNow when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, ^ethe heavens were opened, 22 and the ^fHoly Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, ^g“You are my ^hbeloved Son;^{1 i}with you I am well pleased.”²
