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. ²⁸ These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordaine wher Iohn did baptyse. ²⁹ The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commynge vnto him, and sayde: beholde the lambe of God, which taketh away the synne of the worlde. ³⁰ This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me, for he was yer then I, ³¹ and I knowe him not: but that he shoulde be declared to Israel, therfore am I come baptysynge with water. ³² And Iohn bare recorde saiynge: I saw the sprete descende from heauen, lyke vnto a doue, and abide vpon him, ³³ and I knewe him not. But he that sent me: to baptyse in water, the same sayde vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tarye styll on him, the same is he, whych baptyseth wyth the holye ghost. ³⁴ And I sawe and beare recorde that this is the sonne of God. ³⁵ The next daye after Iohn stode againe, and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And he behelde Iesus as he walked by, & sayde: beholde the lambe of God.

²⁷ Iohn aunswered, and sayed: a man can receiue nothing at al except it be geuen him from heauen. ²⁸ Ye youre selues are witnesses how that I saide: I am not Christ, but am sent before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bryde is the brydegrome. But the frend of the brydegrom, whiche standeth by and heareth him reioyseth greatlye of the brydegromes voyce. Thys my ioye is fulfilled. ³⁰ He muste increace: and I muste decreace. ³¹ He that commeth from an hye is aboue al. He that is of the earth, is of the earth, & speaketh of the earth. He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all, ³² and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifyeth: but no man receiueth his testimony. ³³ Howbeit he that hath receiueth his testimony hath set to his seale that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the spirite by measure. ³⁵ The father loueth the sonne and hath geuen all thinges into his hand. ³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlasting life, and he that beleueth not the sonne shall not se life: but the wrath of God abydeth on him.
