c. AD 26
Jesus came from Galilee to be baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. As He came up from the water, heaven opened, the Spirit descended on Him like a dove, and the Father's voice declared, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Jesus' baptism marks the beginning of His public ministry. All three persons of the Trinity are present: the Son being baptized, the Spirit descending, and the Father speaking. It inaugurates the new covenant era.
