Mark 1:10 in context
8I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

10And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
