I've always wanted to do a bible fanfiction and I wrote this ages ago but I was worried about putting it on fanfiction. I had a nagging sensation not to long back so I decided to bite the bullet and upload it. This fanfiction is a one shot of Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist at the river Jordan. It's my first bible fanfiction so please be nice and review if you like the story. If this gets a good review count I'll publish the other story that I have that is Peter central. thanks. I apologize if it's slightly inaccurate and a little bit short.

The sun shone strongly in the bright blue skies above the river Jordan. The sun shimmers in the crystal clear water reflecting it's very essence back up into the skies and into the eyes of the pople gazing upon it.
At one side of the river a crowd was gathering, many of them were already entering the water desperately wanting to be baptisted.
John the Baptist, son of Elizabeth and Zechariah. Others believe he is the messiah but they are wrong. The messiah is to come and according to John he will be greater that he.
As he baptistes them one by one he begins to preach and everyone who has gathered listens to everyword that he says.
"There is one to come, greater that I. Whose sandals I am unfit to carry and he will baptise with fire. I am just a voice in the wilderness preparing the way for the..."
He paused and everyone turned to see a young man on the edge of the congregation that was huddled around the river. He made his way to the waters edge and pulled off the cloth covering his head revealing his long brown hair and beard. As his eyes met John, everything seemed to stand still as if frozen in time.
"Lord" John finished, his voice only a mere whisper.
"Don't stop" he said, his voice strong and resolute thoughtout the ears of the many, inculding John's.
"Surely I need you to baptise me"
Placing his hood and his bag on the ground he walked into the water and all eyes where suddenly upon him and John wondering as to why John had reacted in that way.
Was this the messiah standing in front them?
He walked further up to John who was waist deep in the river.
"John, What you are doing is right"
"Baptise me" he whispered lowering his head before John.
John stepped closer to him, cupping one hand around his head and the other upon his shoulder and lowered him into the forgiving water of the river Jordan submerging him underneath and then pulled him up to the surface. He breathed deeply as John helped him onto his feet.
The skies parted in unison as he inhaled the sweet air and the sunlight shone down upon him enshrining him in a halo of golden tones. Opening his eye's he gazed up into the heavens as his fathers voice echoed thoughout the skies untill it met his son's ears.
"This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"
Apologies if this is a little bad, some of the dialouge comes from the Bible Tv Series. If anyone does like this please feel free to review it.
