NARRATOR: When John began preaching, people were filled with expectation, wondering in their hearts whether John might be the messiah.
JOHN THE BAPTIST: I am baptizing with water, but there is one to come who is mightier than I. I am not fit to loosen his sandal strap. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire.
NARRATOR: Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven.
VOICE: You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.
Luke 3.15-16, 21-22
