Ezekiel’s Inaugural Vision

1 In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles^(A) by the Kebar River,^(B) the heavens were opened^(C) and I saw visions^(D) of God.

¹⁶ As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,^(A) and he saw the Spirit of God^(B) descending like a dove and alighting on him.

⁵⁶ “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open^(A) and the Son of Man^(B) standing at the right hand of God.”

¹¹ He saw heaven opened^(A) and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.
