The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan

The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan is the first of the five Luminous Mysteries of the rosary, prayed on Thursdays.

And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him: and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him. And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 3:16-17 (Douay-Rheims)
