John 1:32 (NASB):
John testified saying: "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him.
The above quote from John the Baptist is referring to what we read about in Luke 3:21-22, when the Holy Spirit "descended upon {Jesus} in bodily form like a dove."
Was this external sign of the Holy Spirit coming upon Jesus merely for others (such as John, as stated in verse 33 of Chapter 1), so that they may believe God’s spirit was upon Him, or did Jesus somehow receive a fuller measure of the Holy Spirit at this moment?
