The Baptism of Jesus
The Baptism of Jesus is the first decade of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary (one of the most powerful prayers given to us from above). In this first decade, Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River.
Scripture
Matthew 3:13-17
Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him.
But John stayed him, saying: I ought to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?
And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice.
Then he suffered him. 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.
