Responsive Reading: (Matthew 3:13-17; Acts 2:38)

(Matthew 3:13-17 NIrV ) Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan River. He wanted to be baptized by John.  (14)  But John tried to stop him. He told Jesus, "I need to be baptized by you. So why do you come to me?"  (15)  Jesus replied, "Let it be this way for now. It is right for us to do this. It carries out God's holy plan." Then John agreed.  (16)  As soon as Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened. Jesus saw the Spirit of God coming down on him like a dove.  (17)  A voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him."

(Acts 2:38 NIV)  Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
