And when he came up out of the water immediately he saw the heavens opened and the spirit descending upon him like a dove

What was the significance of the descent of the dove? To

show that he was the messiah
empower him for his ministry
isolate him as a distinguished prophet
reveal him to the world

Explanation

A dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit, in reference to Matthew 3:16 and Luke 3:22 where the Holy Spirit is compared to a dove at the Baptism of Jesus. This was to confirm him as the saviour that was promised
