8 Or what are ye gone out for to se? Wolde ye se a man clothed in soft rayment? Beholde, they that weare soft clothinge, are in kinges houses,
9 But what are ye gone out for to se? A prophet? Yee I saye vnto you, and more the a prophet.
10 For this is he, of who it is written: Beholde, I sende my messauger before thy face, which shal prepare thy waye before the.
11 Verely I saye vnto you: Amonge ye children of wemen arose there not a greater then Ihon the baptist. Not withstondinge he that is lesse in the kyngdome of Heauen, is greater then he.
12 From the tyme of Ihon baptist hither to, ye kyngdome of heauen suffreth violence, and the violent plucke it vnto them.
13 For all the prophetes and the lawe prophecied vnto Ihon.
