1 This is the begynnynge of the gospell of Iesus Christ the sonne of God,
2 as it is wrytte in the prophetes. Beholde, I sende my messauger before thy face, which shal prepare thy waye before the.
3 The voyce of a cryer is in the wyldernes: Prepare the waye of the LORDE, make his pathes straight.
4 Ihon was in the wyldernes, and baptysed, and preached the baptyme of amendment, for the remyssion of synnes.
5 And there wente out vnto him the whole londe of Iewry, and they of Ierusalem, and were all baptysed of him in Iordan, and knowleged their synnes.
6 Ihon was clothed with Camels heer, and with a lethron gerdell aboute his loynes, and ate locustes and wylde hony,
7 and preached, and sayde: There commeth one after me, which is stronger then I: before whom I am not worthy to stoupe downe, and to lowse vp ye lachet of his shue.
8 I baptyse you with water, but he shal baptyse you with the holy goost.
9 And it happened at the same tyme, that Iesus came out of Galile from Nazareth, and was baptysed of Ihon in Iordan.
10 And as soone as he was come out of the water, he sawe that the heauens opened, and the goost as a doue comynge downe vpon him.
11 And there came a voyce from heaue: Thou art my deare sonne, in whom I delyte.
