What occurred at Christ's baptism?
AnswerThe synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) agree that Jesus was baptised, after which the Spirit descended on him like a dove and a voice from heaven said, "Thou art my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew says John forbade Jesus, saying that Jesus should baptise him instead, but this is absent fom the others. Matthew and Mark say that only Jesus saw the dove descend from heaven, while Luke is unclear on whether others saw it. John's Gospel does not actually mention the baptism, but does say that John saw the Spirit descend upon Jesus like a dove.

What is the biblical verse showing the age of Jesus when He was baptized?
You don't realy get told his age, but I am guessing about 30Luke 3:21-23a - When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age...[NKJV]
Why was there a third god that appeared as a bird?
Luke 3: 21- 22: "Now it came to pass when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased."The Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit/Ghost are not three gods - they are One God.
