Genesis 3:1-7 and Matthew 3:`13-17 (NIV)

Genesis 3:1-7

1   Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2   The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 
3    but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4   “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 
5   “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6   When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 
7   Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Matthew 3:13-17 
13  Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.
14  But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”
15  Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.
16  As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him.
17  And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
