Matthew 3:16
Douay-Rheims
And Jesus being baptized, forthwith came out of the water: and lo, the heavens were opened to him: and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
It is generally thought that the Holy Spirit assumed the shape of a dove, although some explain it of His descent on our Lord in some sen- sible way, as if a dove descended, since her manner is peculiar.
