John

And it came to passe in those dayes, that Iesus came from Nazareth, a citie of Galile, and was baptized of Iohn in Iordan.

Now after that Iohn was committed to prison, Iesus came into Galile, preaching the Gospel of the kingdome of God,

And the disciples of Iohn, and the Pharises did fast, and came and saide vnto him, Why doe the disciples of Iohn, and of the Pharises fast, and thy disciples fast not?

Then King Herod heard of him (for his name was made manifest) and sayd, Iohn Baptist is risen againe from the dead, and therefore great workes are wrought by him.

So when Herod heard it, he said, It is Iohn whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

For Herod him selfe had sent forth, and had taken Iohn, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, which was his brother Philippes wife, because he had maried her.

For Iohn sayd vnto Herod, It is not lawfull for thee to haue thy brothers wife.

For Herod feared Iohn, knowing that hee was a iust man, and an holy, and reuerenced him, and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

So she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I aske? And she said, Iohn Baptists head.

Then she came in straightway with haste vnto the King, and asked, saying, I would that thou shouldest giue me euen now in a charger the head of Iohn Baptist.

And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets.

The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men? answere me.

But if we say, Of men, we feare the people: for all men counted Iohn, that he was a Prophet in deede.

But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn.

But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn.

So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all.

(When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes.

As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ,

Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire.

He added yet this aboue all, that he shut vp Iohn in prison.

Then they said vnto him, Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, and pray, and the disciples of the Pharises also, but thine eate and drinke?

And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.

So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?

And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?

And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
