John Imprisoned; Baptism

Luke 3:19–22 ❧ Baptism (Matthew), Beheading of John (Matthew), Jesus Begins His Ministry (Mark), Beheading of John (Mark)

19But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done, 20added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

21Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus also had been baptized, and was praying. The sky was opened, 22and the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove on him; and a voice came out of the sky, saying “You are my beloved Son. In you I am well pleased.”
