19 But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,

20 Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.

21 Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,

22 The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

23 And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

24 The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

25 The son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai,
