Water Baptism

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or baptism:

“Communism, my friend, is more than Marxism, just as Catholicism ... is more than the Roman Curia. There is a mystique as well as a politique.... Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)

“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
—Bible: New Testament Matthew, 3:17.

A “voice from heaven,” following the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist.
