Chapter Three

link: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=47&chapter=3&version=31

1 - 12 The Proclamation of John the Baptist

John appears in the wilderness of Judea, wearing clothing of camel's hair and a leather belt. He eats locusts and wild honey. He baptizes people in the Jordan as they confess their sins. He confronts the Sadducees and Pharisees

13 - 17 The Baptism of Jesus

Jesus comes from Galilee to be baptized by John. As he comes up from the water, the heavens open up and he sees the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."

Question: What is John's reaction when Jesus wishes to be baptized by him?
