Engraving by Gustave Dore (1832 - 1883)
John the Baptist baptizes Jesus.
John was baptizing Jews in the river. Jesus came to be baptized. John said he was not worthy to baptize Jesus, for the Lord had no sin. But Jesus insisted that it would fulfill all righteousness, and he did baptize Him. When they came out of the water, the heavens opened and the Spirit of God came down like a dove and rested on Jesus shoulder. A voice came from heaven saying " This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased." This was the first open declaration that Jesus was the son of God.
Matthew 3, 16

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "The Baptism of Jesus" as depicted in an engraving by Gustave Dore. In this religious illustration, John the Baptist is seen baptizing Jesus in a river, surrounded by mature men and senior men who witness this sacred event. According to Matthew 3:16, John initially hesitates to baptize Jesus, recognizing that he is sinless and unworthy of such an honor. However, Jesus insists on being baptized as it symbolizes righteousness. As they emerge from the water, a divine spectacle unfolds before their eyes - the heavens open up and the Spirit of God descends like a dove onto Jesus' shoulder. A voice resonates from heaven declaring, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased". This powerful proclamation marks the first public declaration that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. The image portrays not only significant religious symbolism but also showcases elements of traditional culture with period costumes and facial hair. The bright colors add vibrancy to this old yet timeless scene. Through this engraved image by Gustave Dore, viewers are invited to reflect upon spirituality and delve into concepts surrounding faith and divinity. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role played by baptism in Christian tradition while emphasizing Jesus' unique status as God's beloved son.
