Christ, our Lord, came to Jordan for his Father's sake.
He took the baptism from St. John to fulfill his word and work.
There he wanted to give us a bath, to wash us from sins, to quench the bitter
death through his own blood and wounds.
It was a new life.
So listen and notice, all of you, what God himself calls baptism and what a
Christian should believe when he confesses himself to him.
God speaks and wants the water to be, but not only plain water.
His holy word is also there, with rich spirit and measure.
He is all here, the devil.
This he has shown us clearly, with images and with words.
Of the Father's voice it is obvious, that even at Jordan he heard.
He said, This is my beloved Son, to whom I have fallen, whom I have
commanded you, that you listen to him, all of you, and follow his teachings.
God's Son himself is here, in his tender humanity.
The Holy Spirit descends, and is dressed in the image of the dove, that we should
not doubt, when we are baptized, all three people baptized,
that we should not doubt,
when we are baptized,
all three people baptized, that we should not doubt, when we are baptized,
all three people baptized, that we should not doubt,
when we are baptized, all three people baptized, that we should not doubt,
when we are baptized,
all three people baptized,
that we should not doubt, that we should not doubt, when we are baptized,
all three people baptized, that we should not doubt,
