26 Or what are ye gone out for to se? Wolde ye se a prophet? Yee I saye vnto you: one that is more the a prophet.
27 This is he, of whom it is wrytten: Beholde, I sende my messaunger before yi face, which shal prepare thy waye before the.
28 For I saye vnto you: Amonge the yt are borne of weme, there is no greater prophet the Ihon the baptist. Notwith stondynge he that is lesse in the kyngdome of God, is greater then he.
29 And all the people that herde him, and ye publicans, iustified God, and were baptysed with the baptyme of Ihon.
30 But the Pharises and scrybes despysed ye councell of God against theselues, & were not baptised of hi.
