After all the people had been baptized and Jesus also had been baptized and was

praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove.

Lk 3:21-22a

Sucedió que entre la gente que se bautizaba, también Jesús fue bautizado. Mientras éste oraba, se abrió el cielo y el Espíritu Santo bajó sobre él en forma sensible, como de una paloma.

Lc 3, 21-22
