19 And thys is the recorde of Iohn: when the Iewes sent Prestes and Leuites from Ierusalem, to aske hym, what art thou?
20 And he confessed & denyed not, & sayde playnly. I am not Chryst.
21 And they asked him: what then? art thou Helyas? And he sayeth: I am not. Arte thou that Prophete? And he answered no.
22 Then sayde they vnto hym: what art thou, that we maye geue an answer to them that sent vs. What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23 He sayde I am the voyce of a criar in the wildernes, make strayght the waye of the Lorde, as sayde the Prophete Esaias.
24 And they whych were sent, were of the Pharyses:
25 And they asked him, & sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then, yf thou be not Christ, nor Helias, nether that Prophet?
26 Iohn answered them sayinge I baptise with water: but there stondeth one amonge you, whom ye knowe not,
27 he it is which though he came after me, was before me, whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose.
