Matthew's account of Jesus' baptism (the gospel reading for Epiphany 1 in Year A) includes elements that the other gospels omit, and yet is still quite short. Yet it is densely packed with allusions to the Old Testament.

James and Ian explore the significance of these, and how spotting them might shape our reading and preaching on this passage on the First Sunday of Epiphany.
