Matthew 3:17
CommentaryThe Father's voice was heard from heaven pronouncing His blessing on Jesus. It was a memorable event because the voice of God was heard quoting Scripture: "This is My beloved Son (from Ps. 2:7) in whom I am well pleased"(from Isa. 42:1). This is one of three occasions when the Father spoke from heaven in delighted acknowledgment of His unique Son (the other places are Matt. 17:5 and John 12:28).
