rwp @Matthew:3:17 @{A voice out of the heavens } (\ph “n ˆ ek t “n ouran “n \). This was the voice of the Father to the Son whom he identifies as His Son , "my beloved Son ." Thus each person of the Trinity is represented (Father , Son , Holy Spirit ) at this formal entrance of Jesus upon his Messianic ministry . John heard the voice , of course , and saw the dove . It was a momentous occasion for John and for Jesus and for the whole world . The words are similar to strkjv @Psalms:2:7 | and the voice at the Transfiguration (Matthew:17:5 |). The good pleasure of the Father is expressed by the timeless aorist (\eudok ˆsa \).
