Scriptural Rosary
Jesus Baptism

"And behold a voice from heaven, saying:
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
-Matt 3:17


Catholic Rosary Myteries


Jesus baptism, the first of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, sheds light on the mission of Jesus and is the first revelation of the Triune God.

After Jesus is baptized by his cousin John, the Holy Spirit descends upon Him in the form of a dove and God the Father's voice proclaims, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Here you see the three persons of the Blessed Trinity. The voice of God the Father, the incarnation of God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove.

  • "And in those days cometh John the Baptist preaching in the desert of Judea. And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. And the same John had his garment of camels' hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea, and all the country about Jordan:
  • And were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath showed you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of penance. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire
  • I indeed baptize you in the water unto penance, but he that shall come after me, is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear; he shall baptize you in the Holy Ghost and fire. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor and gather his wheat into the barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
  • Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him. But John stayed him, saying: I ought to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfill all justice. Then he suffered him.
  • And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him: and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him. And behold a voice from heaven, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." -Matthew 3:1-17

Through Jesus Baptism
We Are United In One Faith

"Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee,
unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kindgom of God"
-John 3:5


Catholic Rosary Mysteries


You must find peace within yourself, if you are going to find true peace in your life. If you are lazy in your spiritual life, you will never find this peace.

Jesus wants you to follow Him and He is ready to teach you the way.

In this mystery remember the promises you made at your baptism.

Through your godparents, you promised to renounce the devil and to live according to the teachings of Jesus and His Church.

You will find many books that will assist you in overcoming spiritual laziness in our Catholic Rosary Shop.

A great place to start is with How to be Happy, How to be Holy by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan.

Jesus baptism shows that Jesus is indeed the long awaited Messiah.

After He was baptized...

  • he fasted
  • was tempted by the devil
  • commissioned the Apostles
  • then performed His first miracle

This first miracle is the second Luminous mystery, the Wedding at Cana.

The Bible passages of Jesus baptism were taken from the timeless Douay Rheims Catholic Bible

If you are looking for a more modern language version of Jesus baptism, our recommendation would be the St. Ignatius Press Bible.

Almighty and everlasting God, look upon the Heart of Thy well-beloved Son and upon the acts of praise and satisfaction which He renders unto Thee in the name of sinners; and do Thou, in Thy great goodness, grant pardon to them who seek Thy mercy, in the name of the same Thy Son, Jesus Christ, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, world without end. Amen.
