  1. The text of the Bible does not tell us who did and did not see the dove descending upon Jesus or hearing the voice of God. We can only make some educated guesses by deduction from other passages. At the Mount of Transfiguration when the voice of God says the same thing, Peter, James, and John heard it (Matt. 17:5-6). So perhaps others around the baptism of Christ heard the voice of God and saw the dove. But we don’t know for sure and should not be dogmatic. Thanks for thinking about the biblical text.

    Did others than Jesus and John see and hear this?

    Thank you.
