LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 3:22 the Holy Spirit descended on him. The Holy Spirit prepares Jesus for his ministry (see Luke 4:1, Luke 4:14, especially vv. Luke 3:18). You are my beloved Son. God’s declaration (compare Luke 1:31; Luke 2:49) will be repeated at the transfiguration (Luke 9:35). Well pleased shows that the Father takes delight in all that Jesus is and has done. It may also refer to Isaiah 42:1.
