This is Psalm 2:7 which is quoted many times by the early church fathers. Most of the accounts of the baptism of Jesus Christ in the river Jordan say that these were the words that were spoken by the Father, and not, ‘thou art my son in whom I am well pleased’.
I have found one translation of the bible that validates this baptismal proclamation by the Father. The New Jerusalem translation of Luke 3:22 “Thou art my son, this day have I fathered thee.”
I have also found that this scripture was proclaimed over the newly baptized who were anointed with oil for the impartation of the Holy Spirit by the bishop.(see below) My question is whether there is any Eastern church or Orthodox church which proclaims or reads Ps. 2:7 in their baptismal or impartation of the Holy Spirit rituals?
Thank you if you can be of any assistance in this matter.
God’s peace.
Constitutions of the Holy Apostles, Book II, Chap. XXXII
“…how dare any man speak against his bishop, by whom the Lord gave the Holy Spirit among you upon the laying on of his hands, by whom ye have learned the sacred doctrines, and have known God and have believed in Christ, by whom ye were sealed with the oil of gladness and the ointment of understanding,** by whom ye were declared to be the children of light, by whom the Lord in your illumination testified by the imposition of the bishop’s hands, and sent out His sacred voice upon every one of you, saying, “Thou are my son, this day have I begotten the?” By thy bishop, O man, God adopts thee for His child.** Acknowledge, O son, that right hand which was a mother to thee. Love him, who after God, is become a father to thee, and honour him.”
