Examples "The parents had the child baptized" Used in print (Newark Evening News...)`` Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John , to be baptized of him . `` But John forbad him , saying , I have need to be baptized of thee , and comest thou to me ? `` And Jesus , when he was baptized went_up straightway out of the water : and lo , the heavens were opened unto him , and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove , and lighting upon him '' . Certainly , the meaning is clearer to one who is not familiar_with Biblical teachings , in the New_English_Bible which reads : `` Then Jesus arrived_at Jordan from Galilee , and he came to John to be baptized by him . he said ; ' I need rather to be baptized by you ' .
