About this picture

In the clear, shallow Jordan, John the Baptist in his camel-hair garment stands beside Jesus, and a white dove comes down through a break in the bright clouds. People wait on the banks and wade in, sheep drink at the water’s edge, ducks swim by the reeds, fish swim among the stones, and a donkey is tied under a tree near a small fire. Matthew 3 tells how, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens opened, the Spirit of God came down like a dove, and a voice from heaven spoke.

Every round hides five differences, picked at random from about a dozen painted into this scene, so playing it again gives you a new set. Tap a difference on either picture to circle it; pinch or tap 🔍 to look closer. Free, with no download and no account.

The story

As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”Matthew 3:16–17 (BSB)
