19 And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent priestes and leuites from Hierusalem, to aske hym: What art thou
20 And he confessed and denyed not, and sayde playnely, I am not that Christe
21 And they asked hym: What then? art thou Elias? And he sayth, I am not. Art thou that prophete? And he aunswered, no
22 Then sayde they vnto hym: What art thou? that we may geue an aunswere to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe
23 He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryer in the wildernesse, make strayght the way of the Lorde, as sayde the prophete Esaias
24 And they which were sent, were of the pharisees
25 And they asked hym, and sayde vnto hym: Why baptizest thou then, yf thou be not Christe, nor Elias, neither that prophete
26 Iohn aunswered them, saying: I baptize with water, but there standeth one among you, whom ye knowe not
27 He it is, which though he came after me, was before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose
28 These thynges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordane, where Iohn dyd baptize
29 The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto hym, and saith, beholde the lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the worlde
30 This is he of whom I sayde, After me commeth a man, which is preferred before me, for he was before me
31 And I knewe hym not: but that he shoulde be declared to Israel, therfore am I come, baptizing with water
32 And Iohn bare recorde, saying: I sawe the spirite descende from heauen, lyke vnto a doue, and abode vpon hym
33 And knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptize with water, the same saide vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt see the spirite descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he which baptizeth with the holy ghost
34 And I sawe, and bare recorde, that he is the sonne of God
35 The next day after, Iohn stoode agayne, and two of his disciples
36 And he behelde Iesus as he walked by, & sayth: beholde the lambe of God
