1. BAPTISM
of our Lord

2. Jeremiah 1:5a
Before I formed you in the
womb I knew you.

3. Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at
the Jordan, to be baptized by him.

4. John would have
prevented
him, saying, "I need to
be baptized by you, and
do you come to me?"

5. FATHER
HOLY
SPIRIT
SON

6. But Jesus
answered
him, "Let it be so
now; for it is
proper for us in
this way to fulfill
all righteousness.”

7. And when Jesus had
been baptized, just as he
came up from the water,
suddenly the heavens
were opened to him and
he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove
and alighting on him.

8. And a voice from
heaven said,
"This is my Son, the
Beloved,
with whom
I am well pleased."

10. Isaiah 42:6b-7
I have given you
as a covenant to
the people, a light
to the nations, to
open the eyes that
are blind, to bring
out the prisoners
from the dungeon,
from the prison
those who sit in
darkness.

11. Psalm 29:3-4
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over
mighty waters. 4 The voice of the Lord is
powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of
majesty

12. Acts 10:42
The words of Peter:
He commanded us
to preach to the
people and to testify
that he is the one
ordained by God as
judge of the living
and the dead.

13. For to be baptized
in the name of God
is to be baptized
not by men, but by
God Himself.
Martin Luther
