Paragraph 1219. The Church has seen in Noah's ark a prefiguring of salvation by Baptism, for by it "a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water": (701, 845)
The waters of the great flood you made a sign of the waters of Baptism, that make an end of sin and a new beginning of goodness.
Paragraph 535. Jesus' public life begins with his baptism by John in the Jordan. John preaches "a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." A crowd of sinners-tax collectors and soldiers, Pharisees and Sadducees, and prostitutes-come to be baptized by him. "Then Jesus appears." The Baptist hesitates, but Jesus insists and receives baptism. Then the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, comes upon Jesus and a voice from heaven proclaims, "This is my beloved Son." This is the manifestation ("Epiphany") of Jesus as Messiah of Israel and Son of God. (719-720, 701, 438)
