The voyce of one crying in the wyldernesse: prepare ye the way of the Lorde, make his pathes strayght. 4 This Iohn had his rayment of Camels heere, and a girdle of a skynne about his loynes, his meate was locustes, and wylde hony. 5 Then went out to hym Hierusalem, and all Iurie, and all the region rounde about Iordane, 6 And were baptized of hym in Iordane, confessyng their sinnes. 7 But when he sawe many of the Pharisees, and Saducees come to his baptisme, he sayde vnto them.

  • John 1:28-51 : 28 These thynges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordane, where Iohn dyd baptize. 29 The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto hym, and saith, beholde the lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the worlde. 30 This is he of whom I sayde, After me commeth a man, which is preferred before me, for he was before me. 31 And I knewe hym not: but that he shoulde be declared to Israel, therfore am I come, baptizing with water. 32 And Iohn bare recorde, saying: I sawe the spirite descende from heauen, lyke vnto a doue, and abode vpon hym, 33 And knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptize with water, the same saide vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt see the spirite descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he which baptizeth with the holy ghost. 34 And I sawe, and bare recorde, that he is the sonne of God. 35 The next day after, Iohn stoode agayne, and two of his disciples. 36 And he behelde Iesus as he walked by, & sayth: beholde the lambe of God. 37 And the two disciples hearde hym speake, and they folowed Iesus. 38 And Iesus turned about, and sawe them folowe hym, & sayth vnto them: What seeke ye? They sayde vnto hym: Rabbi (which is to say yf one interprete it, Maister) where dwellest thou? 39 He sayeth vnto them: come and see. They came, and sawe where he dwelt, and abode with hym that day: For it was about the tenth houre. 40 One of the two which hearde Iohn speake, & folowed hym, was Andrewe, Simon Peters brother. 41 The same founde his brother Simon first, and sayth vnto hym: We haue founde Messias, which is by interpretation, the annoynted. 42 And brought hym to Iesus. And Iesus behelde hym, and sayde: Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona, thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone. 43 The day folowyng, Iesus woulde go into Galilee, & founde Philip, and sayth vnto hym, folowe me. 44 Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrewe and Peter. 45 Philip founde Nathanael, and sayth vnto hym: We haue founde hym, of whom Moyses in the lawe, and the prophetes, dyd write: Iesus of Nazareth, the sonne of Ioseph. 46 And Nathanael sayde vnto hym: Can there any good thyng come out of Nazareth? Philip sayth vnto him: come and see. 47 Iesus sawe Nathanael commyng to hym, & sayeth of hym: Beholde a ryght Israelite, in whom is no guile. 48 Nathanael sayth vnto hym: Whence knewest thou me? Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the fygge tree, I sawe thee. 49 Nathanael aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, thou art euen the very sonne of God, thou art ye kyng of Israel. 50 Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: Because I sayde vnto thee, I saw thee vnder the fygge tree, thou beleuest: Thou shalt see greater thynges then these. 51 And he sayth vnto hym: Ueryly, veryly I say vnto you, hereafter shall ye see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascendyng & descendyng vpon the sonne of man.
