## Matthew 3:17 in Context (Verses 14–17 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/matthew/3/14) But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/3/15) And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer *it to be so* now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/3/16) And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/3/17) And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
 
[Matthew 2](/kjv/matthew/2) [Matthew 4](/kjv/matthew/4)
