Baptism in the Jordan

John the Baptist called people to change their lives and baptized them in the Jordan River. Jesus went to be baptized too. As he came up out of the water, the Spirit of God came down on him like a dove, and a voice was heard from heaven.

Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3:13-17 · Read it in the Bible

Did you know? The Jordan ends in the Dead Sea, the lowest place on dry land: about 430 meters below sea level.
