Luke 3:20 In-Context

18 John said many other things to warn the people. He also preached the good news to them.

19 But John found fault with Herod, the ruler of Galilee, because of Herodias. She was the wife of Herod's brother. John also spoke strongly to Herod about all the other evil things he had done.

20 So Herod locked him up in prison. He added this sin to all his others.

21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened.

22 The Holy Spirit came down on him in the form of a dove. A voice came from heaven. It said, "You are my Son, and I love you. I am very pleased with you."
