The gospels say that Jesus received the Holy Spirit and was adopted by God as his son, at the time of his baptism (Mark 1:9-10): "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:"

A countervailing view is in the later Christian tradition that Jesus was divine and pre-existing, and equal with the Holy Spirit as two persons of the Holy Trinity. This theological position would seem to suggest that Jesus had no need to receive the Holy Spirit.

Where is the Bible verse that shows the Holy Spirit as being everywhere?

There are several Bible verses that appear to demonstrate that the Holy Spirit is NOT everywhere. In Mark 1:10, Jesus saw the heavens open and the Spirit descend like a dove. Here the Holy Spirit was in heaven and came physically down to Jesus, in the likeness of a dove. In John 20:22, the risen Jesus breathed on the disciples, saying, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost." The Holy Ghost was not everywhere, but had to come from Jesus. In Acts 2:3-4, the Holy Ghost came like tongues of fire and settled on the disciples. Again, the disciples could not receive the Holy Spirit until it descended on them in the likeness of flames.
