9 Not long afterwards Jesus came from Nazareth in the province of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, he saw heaven op ening and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you.”

Baptême de Jésus-Christ

9 En ce temps-là, Jésus vint de Nazareth en Galilée, et il fut baptisé par Jean dans le Jourdain. 10 Au moment où il sortait de l’eau, il vit les cieux s’ouvrir, et l’Esprit descendre sur lui comme une colombe. 11 Et une voix fit entendre des cieux ces paroles: Tu es mon Fils bien-aimé, en toi j’ai mis toute mon affection. — Mark 1:9-11 | Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBUK) and La Bible Louis Segond 1910 (LSB1910) The Holy Bible; Good News Bible Anglicised Copyright © 1992 British & Foreign Bible Society and The Louis Segond 1910 Bible, which is in the public domain.

A Prayer for Help

1 From the depths of my despair I call to you, LORD. 2 Hear my cry, O Lord; listen to my call for help! 3 If you kept a record of our sins, who could escape being condemned? 4 But you forgive us, so that we should stand in awe of you. 5 I wait eagerly for the LORD's help, and in his word I trust. 6 I wait for the Lord more eagerly than watchmen wait for the dawn — than watchmen wait for the dawn. 7 Israel, trust in the LORD, because his love is constant and he is always willing to save. 8 He will save his people Israel from all their sins. — Psalm 130 | Good News Bible – British Edition (GNBUK) Good News Bible.
