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.
