Yeshua Immersed in the Jordan

At Yeshua's immersion the Father declares 'This is my beloved Son' — the Ruach descends like a dove — inaugurating His public ministry with divine affirmation.

  1. John the Immerser Prepares the Way

    A voice cries out in the wilderness — John calls Israel to repentance and immerses those preparing for the coming King.

  2. 1In those days, John the Immerser came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,
  3. 2“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
  4. 3For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of Adonai ready! Make his paths straight!”Prophecy · Yeshayahu 40:3
  5. 4Now John himself wore clothing made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
  6. 5Then people from Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
  7. 6They were immersed by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.
  8. 7But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for his immersion, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
  9. 8Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance!
  10. 9Don’t think to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I tell you that Elohim is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
  11. 10Even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
  12. 11I indeed immerse you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will immerse you in the Ruach HaKodesh.Prophecy · Malakhi 3:2
  13. 12His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor. He will gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.”Prophecy · Malakhi 3:3
  14. Yeshua Is Immersed

    Yeshua comes to the Jordan to be immersed, and the Father speaks from heaven, confirming His beloved Son.

  15. 13Then Yeshua came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be immersed by him.
  16. 14But John would have hindered him, saying, “I need to be immersed by you, and you come to me?”
  17. 15But Yeshua, answering, said to him, “Allow it now, for this is the fitting way for us to fulfil all righteousness.” Then he allowed him.
  18. 16Yeshua, when he was immersed, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Ruach Elohim descending as a dove, and coming on him.Prophecy · Yeshayahu 11:2
  19. 17Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”Prophecy · Yeshayahu 42:1
