Description
Baptism of Christ - AI+digital artwork by Donna Kennedy-edited in PS and Topaz Studio…
The baptism of Jesus, the ritual purification of Jesus with water by John the Baptist, was a major event described in the three synoptic Gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark and Luke). It is considered to have taken place at Al-Maghtas (also called Bethany Beyond the Jordan), today located in Jordan.
Modern biblical scholars view the baptism of Jesus as a historical event to which a high degree of certainty can be assigned. Along with the crucifixion of Jesus, biblical scholars view it as one of the two historically certain facts about him, and often use it as the starting point for the study of the historical Jesus.
As soon as Jesus was baptised, heaven was opened and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. Then a voice said from heaven, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”. After the baptism, the Synoptic gospels describe the temptation of Jesus, where Jesus withdrew to the Judean desert to fast for forty days and nights.

Such a beautifully done portrait! And I love your explanation. One thing special about this is the fact that it is REALISTIC about the amount of water in the Jordan. It is a river in the desert, and would rarely contain enough water for immersion. So this picture shows it as shallow, which is most likely. It is also realistic in the sense that the shore slopes downward, so saying Jesus came up out of the water is correct without fostering a claim of immersion.
