Luke 3:21-22

The Way Prepared, the Son Revealed, and the Lineage Traced

Luke moves from world history to wilderness prophecy, from repentance preached to repentance embodied in fruit, from John’s preparatory witness to Jesus’ Spirit-marked Sonship, and from Israel’s story to Adam and God.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

21When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened,

22and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in a bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
