13 Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordancoming to John, to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15 But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted Him. 16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”

Mark!

9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.10 Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; 11 and a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”

Luke

21 Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”

Both the picture on the left and right portray Jesus right after he was baptized and how "He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him." Mark 10

Both of these pictures on the right and left show Jesus right before he was baptized by John.

Compare!

- All except John talk about after Jesus came out of the water he saw the heavens opening

- Matthew, Mark, and John's talk about how Jesus cam from Galilee before coming to John

- All talk about where Jesus was baptized and by who.

- Mark, Matthew, and Luke all have the same quote at the end of the story "You are my beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

- Both Mark and John talk about specifically what Jesus was doing in Galilee before he came to be baptized.

Contrast!

- Johns Version of the Baptism did not go into very much detail about the actual baptism.

- Luke does not talk about where Jesus came from before he was baptized by John whereas in the the other 3 stories they say Jesus came from Galilee

- John does not end his story with the Quote "You are my beloved Son, in you I am well-pleased

- Matthew is the only one to talk about how John wanted Jesus to baptize him instead of John baptizing Jesus.

- Matthew is the only gospel to write out the entire conversation John The Baptist and Jesus had before Jesus was baptized.

- In John's Gospel he talks about how John the baptist only uses water to baptize.

John

John 1:23-29

The verse is too long to fit on the Poster but it simply talks about how John saw Jesus walking over to him and how he came from Galilee

Summary!

chris_hessen25 — 2015-09-30 22:37:38 UTC

Overall each book talks about the baptism of Jesus in a different way. The reason for this is most likely because the authors did not feel the need to include certain details.
