Water Baptism

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or baptism:

“The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe.... The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the griefs and shames of others.”
—Janet Malcolm (b. 1934)

“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.
