In the episode of the baptism of John the Baptist, found in the Gospels, John preaches in the wilderness of judea, calling for repentance and the forgiveness of sins. He wears simple clothing made of carmel's hair and subsists on locusts and wild honey. Crowds come to him from all over, seeking baptism in the Jodan River as a sign of their commitment to a new life.

John emphasizes the importance of inner transformation, proclaiming that someone greater than him is coming. When Jesus arrives to be baptized, John initially hesitates, recognizing Jesus' higher status. However, Jesus insists, saying it is necessary to fulfill all righteosness. As Jesus is baptized, the heavens open, and the Spirit of God descends like a dove upon him, while a voice from heaven declares, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." This moment marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry.
