Read Luke 3.21-22. In 3.21-22: Jesus' baptism. Christian tradition is clear that John baptized Jesus (Mt 3.13-17; Mk 1.9-11; Jn 1.29-34) and Luke does not deny it. But by first reporting John's imprisonment and not mentioning him in the baptism, Luke emphasizes that Jesus was anointed as messiah by the Holy Spirit (see Acts 10.37-38; Lk 4.18), as the "Spirit of the Lord" once confirmed the anointing of Saul and David (1 Sam 10.9-10; 11.5-15; 16.13). The voice from heaven echoes the royal acclamation of Ps 2 and Isa 42. Comments or Questions..
