Matthew(i)
19 And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent pryestes and Leuites from Ierusalem, to axe him what arte thou?
20 And he confessed and denied not, and sayd plainlye: I am not Chryste.
21 And they axed hym: what then? Art thou Helias? And he sayed: I am not. Art thou a Prophete? And he aunswered no.
22 Then sayed they vnto him: 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 voice of a cryar in the wyldernes, make strayght the waye of the Lorde, as sayde the Prophete Esaias.
24 And they which were sent, were of the pharyseis.
25 And they axed him: and sayd vnto him: why baptysest thou then if thou be not Christ, nor Helias, neyther a Prophete?
26 Iohn aunswered them saiynge: I baptyse with water, but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not,
27 he it is that cometh after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to vnlose.
