Spirit Baptism

Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or baptism:

“So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God; the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
—Bible: New Testament Matthew, 3:17.

A “voice from heaven,” following the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist.
